Identify this gong?

Hi all,

Please help me identify this gong? It is 16” and made in West Germany.

Thanks in advance.

My first guesses off the bat would be Paiste. I personally don't know of any other cymbal makers in Germany, at least not during the time when there was an East / West Germany. I know Meinl was around, but not sure they were making gongs then. But from the quick research I just did, I'm going 99.9% that this is a Paiste. Found numerous photos of the same gong and here is a video clip. Also missing the Paiste mark, but identical to yours and the others I found, aside the missing Black " Paiste " On the top or bottom ( seems they did both, depending on the size )
