22" K is perhaps pending.

But the small Ks are still up for grabs at a lower price: $700 shipped on either!

Great deal for old stamp Ks! x-mas3

Even if you don't like the cymbals you've got to love "Blueprints" descriptions! Well done.

Thanks! Someone out there's got to love old Ks...

OK, can someone tell me why these are so expensive?

were they part of the queen of englands estate? or were they the first ones make in 300 BC

I dont get it

LMBO!!!!!!

Tell me about the sizzle thing on the 22. Looks like an idea I want to try.

I have sold many,many 18" Turk K's for $800 each..and they would turn around and sell them overseas for way more then that!

After paying shipping and duties...and making a profit...they must have been asking $1,500 in Japan for them....Eye Ball

Hey Slingerland--thanks for the question. They are priced this way because that's where the market is. The K Zildjian factory in Turkey no longer exists, these are no longer made, they're the last closest objects to the original source, they are the original etc etc etc. They've got a lot of value and they sound unlike modern cymbals which are...well, we've got Drumaholic here who is the expert par exellence who can give the history much better than I can. But, they're priced according to market value. So cats like to collect them, but also, in my view as a cymbalholic, they are the cream of the crop. Like 12/14/18 Round Badge drums--why do they cost so much? Same exact idea. Why do Black Beauty snare drums cost so much? Same exact idea.

Hey Rich--I've got a couple rivets tied to dental floss like this I-------------I and then I tape it in the middle of the floss and attach to the cymbal. Saves me from drilling and I can test out where they seem to sizzle best!

can we get a clear picture of this type of stamp we the one novice here knows what it looks like?
