    Default How to tell if a Zildjian cymbal is a Constantinople?

    I recently came across a very nice used Zildjian ride cymbal. The seller
    believes it is a Constantinople. Is there a way to know for sure?

    Thanks.

    it should be stamped or engraved on the cymbal. Check this website there are pics of the different stamps of production.

    The stamps on AZ's and KZ's are quite different. Constanoples tend to have large hammering divots that are slightly dis-colored. That's all I got.

    all the best...
