Old Zildjian Constantinople 16" pair- orchestral cymbals

[satchwine]

Hi guys,

Thought you might be interested in my latest find in Australia. I'm guessing these are type 1 stamps from around 1915. The weights are 1740g and 1598g including with the straps, so a little bit lighter than this. Attached are pictures. Pretty stoked with this find, not sure what I'll do with them yet.

Open to trades particularly for other old Zildjian k’s. Love to hear anything from all of you. Cheers

lighter one bottom hi hat with a lighter (hmm whatever on top..
16s are pretty rare I own a 14 (great bottom to an old K III top or New Stamp top..)
16s are rare. I've had a 15;
use one as a hihat and one as a spooky accessory simbol : )
watch ; ) they don't break your sticks when used as a suspended)

Great find! I've got one of these early exampes in a 16" as well. Don't recall the particulars on it. It is packed and heading to the Chicago Show this year.
