​A rare matched set of authentic Turkish-made bronze from the Constantinople factory (late 1920s – early 1930s). These "Old Ks" are in the heavier "Band / Orchestral" weight class, offering a powerful "chick" and clean stick definition and ability to be used in a concert setting.

​12" Hi-Hats / crashs

​Weights: 741g / 779.5g

​Stamp: Crisp K. Zildjian & Cie Constantinople (Type 2/3) block letter stamp.

​Condition: Excellent. Round center holes (no keyholing). Edges are clean with no flea bites or keyhole. Sound great.

Original Patina: Never cleaned. 100 years natural beauty.

​Investment Grade: A historically matched set of cymbals made before Zildjian moved to the USA. Meaning these ARE NOT THE SAME as the ones reverb is trying to compare prices with. Those are from decades later and made in America.
