Hi all, a Finnish newbie here in need of your help:

A friend of mine has gotten hold of this snare drum with no badges or other means of identification. Can anyone out there identify this drum.. or at least guess its approx age? I haven't seen the thing yet, just this photo, so I can't tell how many plys it has etc. There's a badge on the side of it saying: "GPL Trommeln-pauken, Gustav Ponschardt, Leipzig C1", presumably put there by a German dealership. It may be European... then again some fellow drummers at DFO figure it might be US made. The WMP wrap seems to be in reasonable state, the strainer's gone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Simo[Attachment: 1851]
