Sep 1 1960 Ludwig 'Legionnaire Parade Drum' Squadron Model 14x10"

Date stamped: Sep 1 1960

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

8 lug design and single tension design.

Transitional badge.

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

Original rare lacquer finish. These drums were often used by colleges/universities, so the finish is probably custom for their official colours.

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

The hardware has previously been very rusty and they show their age with lots of nickel worn away and rusting marks still present. Not to mention the obvious paint loss.

There is what I presume is original paint splatter on the inside of the shell, as well as a paper tag that might've been added from a previous owner.

See photos for condition.

Freshly cleaned up in my workshop February 2025.

Fitted with used Remo Ambassador X batter and Ambassador Hazy, with Puresound wires.
