Other wartime kits besides Rolling Bombers?

Hello all-
Saw kit below posted at Nelson’s website. I’ve seen Slingy’s wartime kits but what others were there during that time? Were there Ludwig and Gretsch versions also?

Yes, check out Mark Cooper's 'Drums of WWII'. http://www.coopersvintagedrums.com/war effort.htm

Rogers had the following snare during WW2. To date there is no paperwork or ad to go along with the drum. Over the years I've seen a tacked head tom and floor tom singles but no complete sets have surfaced for Rogers All that remains are 3 war time snare drums.

Gretsch Defenders WWII

Hey Guys, I know that there is limited interest in owning a WWII set. I have the possibility of acquiring some of these drums. I would keep some but would need to move the rest. Before I make an offer I would like to know if there would be any interest in some of these historical period drums...

I’ve had a few. They are fun drums.

Here’s pics of my long gone WFLs and Ludwig & Ludwig kits and my current Leedy Dreadnaught bass.
