Vintage Ludwig Acrolite 404 Snare drum with CB snare case

A terrific, vintage Ludwig snare. This is one of the 5 x 14" models with the pointy badge. Serial number dates it to around 1976. Brand new heads and a CB Drums snare case. Cosmetically this one has obviously been played but the throw off and muffler are in great working order so I'm calling it VERY GOOD. The outer shell has some dings, a little oxidation and some minor pitting on the other metal hardware but I've seen much worse. Looks like the top hoop had some painting on the inside. The wires look original but I'd say they have life left in them.
I have literally tried to get these things to sound bad but can't seem to do it. They have this signature sound that may not be the sweetest or the most nuanced tone but they do just always seem to sound good and "right" for lack of a better way to put it. Not a booming cavernous sound to them but just the right amount of crack and pop with enough body and thud to it. They are incredibly easy to dial in and will do the job for just about any gig I can imagine.
