Snare looks like MIJ from here, but I can't be 100% cuz the pic is a little grainy, and the bass has a Pearl type tom mount looks like, so The "peddle" might be a SK...but I would look at them in person, and grab that snare for 25-30 for me! If they are MIJ, they are worth about 100-150, just because they are playyable, but that is it. If they turn out to be Luds, which I don't think they are, snag 'em up!

On second look, I see no Ludwig looking lugs at all, those concert toms, the bass hoops are 70s chrome, they look like MIJ lugs...I cannot say 100%, but even my dumb-a......I don't see Luds. Unless that is a Jazz fest snare...I see it has 8 lugs.

What is MIJ?

"Made in japan." Also a great album by Deep purple!!!!!Cool1Yes Sir

Where is the Craigslist ad so we can possibly expand the picture-you can't see ANY details.I will say no American Ludwig set has 7/8 tom arms.Or chrome bass drum hoops.And I can't recall any round muffler knobs either.Maybe vintage Ludwig refers to the pedal,making the whole set vintage Ludwig-right?Like an Evans drum set,or a Remo Ambasador drum set-tell me you've never seen that on Craigslist.I can make an educated guess-80's MIT w/an earlier MIJ snare painted suede black.Any takers?

They are not vintage Ludwig.

Ask him for pix to your mailbox then post them, that way we can tell you what they[COLOR=seagreen]are[/COLOR]....We are all pretty sure what they are [COLOR=red]not....[/COLOR]

I would like to see all of it, and if it is close enough to to make him think he has Luds...That snare is puzzling me.
