There is a considerable amount of dirt build up/scratches more predominant on the top than the underside. Some bukling when placed on a flat surface.
Cymbal is quite light and has a lot of flex in it.
*THE WARTY BITS:
1.There is a nice bite taken out approx 26 mm /1.025 " long out of a section of the cymbal around the perimeter. It would appear that an attempt has been made to repair the cymbal and it has been slightly filed/cut down and so appears slightly non-concentric around the cymbal edge.
