Ludwig No. 404 Acrolite 5x14" 8-Lug Aluminum Snare Drum with Pointed Blue/Olive Badge 1977-79 - Matte Aluminum

Ludwig L-404 Acrolite Blue and Olive Pointed Badge, serial number 1650803. This drum is a true time capsule. Original (as found) still wearing Ludwig heads, snare wires, and all the brass tension rod washers. The drum has its original P-85 painted throw and the shell is nearly flawless (small scratches and two manufacturing marks as seen in photos.) The chrome shows almost no age. Based on the serial number we believe this is a 198/79 and a perfect example of an Acrolite in its original glory.  This drum has been disassembled, hardware ultrasonically cleaned, polished, and the shell checked for roundness.
