Were any slingy artist snares 8 lug?

Curious about this, particularly, 70's models

The "artist" model was available as an 8 or 10 lug during the 70's.

I think most of them were, don't know about the 70s. I bought this on eBay a couple of years ago, is interesting, it was described as a radio king with solid shell, from the 60s ( serial number 4653) but it has 10 lugs so I'm thinking was it a 10 lug artist with a 3 point strainer instead of zoomatic![Attachment: 106207]

Sorry, I thought you said were there many 10 lug ones. I thought the 10 lug ones are harder to find.

Quite the oddity. Also, no snare bridges on the throw off side.

No bridge on the butt side either, must have been factory there's no extra holes.
