I found this snare but can't find anything about it, it took me forever just to get these pictures so I don't know the demisions of the snare but it has 6 Lugs and a Classic Deluxe throwoff. The man says that it's a 1948-1952 WFL Snare but I can't find any 6-lug snares from that time period. The snare also has been re-wrapped with a leather looking wrap and in one photo I tried to circle a lug that has a "gap" in the center being raised up never seen it so I don't know if it is a fake Lug or just a replacement off a Acrolite, so any help would be thankful!

INFO- 1948-1952 WFL Snare w/ 6-Lugs and Deluxe Throwoff

Looks like someone was trying to make a Black Panther snare.

You mean a BROWN Panther snare! Mister T It looks like naugahyde! -brown naugahyde! Nice.

Well, that isn't original, of course. The grommet has been messed with, as further proof of a rewrap.

The lugs appear to be chrome -one, as noted is an Acrolite lug.

I can't tell if the rims are nickel or if it's just really dirty chrome.
