I know...here we go again. I've read and re-read the excellent info on Vintage Drum Guide and I'd just like some verification that I'm on the right track.

My silver sparkle Slingies have the black/silver rounder oval badge--not football-shaped and not the transition badge ("Slingerland" font is different from older badges.) They have 3-ply mahogany-poplar-maple shells with maple reinforcing rings. They have a clear finish on the inside (not milky beige).

These clues indicate they were built between 1970 and '72, right?

Now, to the serial number graph... My serial numbers are all 5 digits, indicating they were made after the reset and before the 100,000 mark on the graph. Again, 1970-72.

Does this sound right?
