Aug 6 1959 Ludwig 'Legionnaire Parade Drum' Squadron Model 14x10"

3-ply shell - mahogany (inner), poplar, maple (outer) with maple reinforcing hoops.

8 lug design.

Transitional badge.

Single tension.

Original nickel hardware including strainer, internal dampener, single tension claws and rods, and butt end.

Original lacquer finish. I’ve not seen this finish before, it’s in great condition too. These drums were often used by colleges/universities, so the finish is probably custom for their official colours.

Dampener round adjuster is chrome but is era correct.

These drums are wonderful, and being the less commonly seen 8 lug version is significantly more versatile and valuable than the 6 luggers.

See photos for condition.

Freshly cleaned up in my workshop November 2024.

Fitted with barely used Remo Fiberskyn Ambassador batter and Ambassador Hazy, with brand new Puresound Custom Pro Steel wires.
