For sale is a rare vintage 12.5” K Zildjian & Cie Constantinople cymbal, handcrafted in Istanbul, Turkey—likely pre 1930s. This cymbal features the iconic K Zildjian Constantinople Ottoman-script stamp, and the inside of the bell is hand-signed by the original cymbalsmith, a hallmark of genuine old-world K Zildjians.
This size (12.5”) is extremely uncommon, and it could have originally been used as a hi-hat top, small crash, or splash. The lathing and hand-hammering are beautiful, with a warm, dark, trashy tone typical of this era. No cracks or repairs. Moderate patina and cosmetic wear consistent with its age, but structurally solid.
Ideal for collectors, jazz drummers, or anyone seeking that true Turkish K vibe in a compact, musical cymbal.

- Stamp: K. Zildjian & Cie Constantinople (Ottoman script)
