Hi all,I got this snare way back in my early collecting days from my friend Corey DeMello.
The entire drum is bright gold plated. L & L did offer gold plating as an option so this drum could be a special order or the drum may have been plated after market. If the shell was more of a satin gold finish then this would be an All Gold Model. The drum is all original and correct except for the top and bottom heads. A nice addition is the WF Ludwig II signature on the top head.
Enjoy!
