THe round muffler knob is consistent with a cob, as is the turned in edges of the drum inside, and the bent snare beds. There's no serial number, correct? I saw no pitting in the picture, so everything looks fine. It would be easy to find a buyer for that drum, I stand by previous statements, surface. The only real alterations are it may have an extra hole drilled for the P-83 muffler and the buttplate. Of course it isn't original but if it were, you'd have a drum worth twice the $300 or more. Don't forget the recent topic regarding the high selling prices of Supras.. COBs hold value better than Supras do. They're more desirable and more rare. A same-era original supra would be worth around that $300 and this is non-original Super or COB. But you may want to take a quick low-ball offer from an opportunistic person on this or another forum.

Don't tell my wife!
Let's not forget however, that some people want museum quality, while others want to play it like it was yesterday! As we are all aware, todays market well...............is like the STOCK market! Up and down and all over the charts! Take a person who is going to polish the item, and place it in a collection....not even going to look twice at this snare, as the value dropped like a lead balloon as soon as the person ( who thought he was doing a good thing at the time) made the first hole in this shell. Now on the other hand, the person who would be interested in this drum.....well, is a person who doesn't have the money to purchase a museum piece, and just wants to play the snare for the sound. This is the perfect opportunity for a lot of drummers! Not only if they choose to change it back to a SS or keep it the way it is...the holes do not effect it that much in sound (IMHO).
I agree that if the mods were not done, this snare would fetch anywhere from 500-900, depending on the dings (if any) in the shell. Just wondering if Ludwig ever thought of making a Kevlar Shelled Super-Sensitive! :) ooops, and Supra!
