I saw a black Acrolite today that had Imperial lugs and a black and white badge.
Is that common? I don't recall seeing that before.
Thanks!

They made them with black badges for a few years at least.

Here goes mine!
As far as I know, these were not catalogued, just a "custom order" or simply lugs change (Bowtie and Imperial share pattern)
I bought mine from second hand, not clue about it...
Looks very fine in person!!!

Looks like the one I saw today except the muffle was missing and I saw flaking on one of the rims.

A year or so ago, I saw a 6.5 version that was special ordered with imperial lugs and the blue olive badge. Missed it by a few minutes. Fine looking drum!
