Vintage 60/70s 10\" Paiste Ludwig Riveted Splash Cymbal (268g) - no rivets incl For Sale

You are offerding on a rareVintage 10\" Paiste Ludwig Splash Cymbalwith a weight of 268 grams. Unsure of year but most likely late 1960s to early 1970s. Stamp says LUDWIG STANDARD BY PAISTE - MADE IN GERMANY. Red Ink on top says MEDIUM. Bottom of BELL says 10\" with a very small 3 as well in red ink. No rivets included.
Here is some history on the brand:
A joint venture by Ludwig and Paiste, the lower midline Ludwig Standards first appear in the 1967 Ludwig catalog, the cymbals were originally made of the NS12 alloy in both the German and Swiss factories before getting an upgrade to B8 around 1971. Well-preserved Ludwig Standards will have a red ink type stamp at the 3 o\'clock position and later period (post \'71) B8 cymbals also have a black ink Paiste logo above the bell. It is now known that the Ludwig 3-Stars are actually the first generation of Ludwig \"Standards\", both are rebranded Stambuls. Ludwig didn\'t actually start using the name \"Ludwig Standard\" in its materials until 1965 and this could be when they started embossing the cymbals with this new name/logo.
We have been told by those at or close to Paiste that they stopped making cymbals for Ludwig in the early 70\'s (\'71 or \'72) after Ludwig cancelled thier contract without notice, the Ludwig Standards last appearance comes in the 1975 Ludwig catalog in limited size options as these cymbals are most assuredly leftover stock.

If you are drummer with a love of 1920\'s - 1970\'s percussion, then this is for you!

Cymbal has extremely light wear for its age. No keyholing or cracks. Easy to polish if needed.

It\'s getting harder and harder to find cymbals like these as they get lost to time and wear, so this is the perfect time to add to your collection.

I\'ll be posting more cymbals in the coming weeks as I am doing some summer cleaning in the home studio and releasing these cymbal oddities back into the wild. All items sold as-is. No refunds. Happy offerding!
