The snare has a BB muffler...

Did COB's ever have that? I don't think so....

some red felt baseball bat muffler drums with crimped beds are brass. not all red felt baseball bat mufflers with crimped beds are brass. this was when the transition from brass to ludalloy was made.

I also have a C.O.B. with Red Felt BB and crimped beds that is brass. At least I am pretty sure it is brass.

Check on the interior of the shell.....if it is COB you will see a vertical weld seam. My scales are tilted towards COB just by photos. If I am wrong, you have the cleanest pre serial Ludaloy shelled supra I have ever seen.

Already put it back together. This is the only photo I took that may show the seam. Will be able to get into this deeper when I get back.

it also appears that the inner lip of the shell turns back in towards the inside which is also indicative of the brass shell.
