Did you ask if it is the same even if you send the drum to them to add the badge? Then they can confirm it is not counterfeit...
Seems odd they would flat refuse.

I actually talked to one of the local DW dealers and they called DW who said they don't sell badges separately.
Same way with Gretsch.
I have a Renown 57 style bop kit with the Chevron stickers that I found corny looking.
Wanted some replacement Renown badges and Gretsch said no too.

I can understand; however if the drum was in their hands and they apply the badge themselves, it should be ok? Them sending a raw badge out to someone- I can understand their hesitation completely.

Tommy, Yes, I did understand your offer to be new OEM badges and not reproduction decals.Thank you.Please tell your sources to offer them to someone else with greater need than mine.The snare has the original badge on it and my other Fibes drums have been Franken-Fibed that I'm not worried about originality that much.On a much more productive note. Look what I found when I went through my drum parts box from the 1970's:The original jam nuts! I was able to make them work with GENTILE prodding! The only thing is to wait until the Pearl SO 25 snare wires arrive and I should be set.Thanks again for your help. It's been a pleasure communicating with you and all on this forum!Cheers!Dave
Tommy.
Success!
I got the Pearl S025 snare wires yesterday.
I had to widen the holes a bit on the butt end but they fit perfectly.
Kinda of a goofy strainer assembly but after playing with the adjustments, I'm starting to like it.
Here's some photos.
THANK YOU for all of your help and everyone else who responded
