Rare Constantinople 13" Hats

Posts: 2 Threads: 1

I have this rare 13" Hi-Hats but have no idea what brand or the history behind them.

They say Constantinople on the stamp but have a script brand I cand figure out. Here is a pic of the stamp.

Any clues?

I have the same type, but 12". I just learned from user Drumaholic that these are UFIP stencil brand and they were made to mimic the old Turkish K. Zildjian & Co. Cymbals. The name is "Zveltian" and they're Italian not Turkish. 1950's maybe 40's would be my rough guess. Very well made cymbals. Perhaps a lot of these were smaller sized band cymbals are heavy too.
