    Going by the logo and grooves it looks like a Vintage 70s era ride for sure. The stamp would help too.
    Check out this website tons of pics with logos etc.

    I believe that this is an 80's cymbal because the diameter is printed in both inches and centimeters ...

    Like Pearl MCX Man said, the stamp might help you zero in on the date ...

    Looks just like mine but I'm suspecting the one that I have is from the '70s by the "thin" font "Zildjian" engraved into the cymbal. I bought a used Ludwig '67 kit back in the early '80s and this ride and the 15" hats pictured below came with the kit. Both have this style of lettering:

    I have got to a conclusion.
    Since the 70s stamp has an underline under the 'O' in ZIldjian 'CO' and mine doesn't, i'm sure it's eightees, thanks everone for helping.

    1980s: (same as on my cymbal)


    1970s: (compare the 'zildjian co' with previous picture)

    I remember the Zildjian logo on the one I purchased around 77 or so, was hallow. I think they started filling in the logo in the 80's sometime.
