I don't know about a Black Panther model but there is a chromed steel, 8 lug Mapex MPX 1.2mm chromed steel shelled 13 x 3.5 piccolo snare drum (which retails for about a third of the price of the lowest priced Black Panther Model). You said its not unknown for people to be economical with the truth where you are. Perhaps the seller considers ALL Mapex snares to be Black Panther models as they are from the same manufacturer.
No harm in taking a look at it - but I would ask the seller lots of questions first and ask to be sent some email pics. If in doubt avoid.
