I am putting together a Ludwig Stainless Steel Octa-Plus Outfit from a Vintage Power Factory Outfit plus a second 14" x 24" bass drum and have been searching for the 6" & 8" Concert Toms to complete the kit. My delema is that I missed on an eBay auction for these two, and one of my questions to the seller was that I didn't see the badges. He simply replies there are no badges on them. Now I have located another pair, but again... No badges. I have two other Octa-Plus kits - Amber Vistalite and Maple w/ Black Cortex wrap - and they have badges on the 6" & 8" Concert Toms. So why wouldn't the Stainless Steel ones have them, too?

Anybody got any info...??

I actualy have a 5.5" x 8" stainless tom, and it DOES have the blue and tan badge.

Blue and Olive Cut Badge - First in the line and was cut to fit on Drums with the center bead. (Supraphonics with this badge have shown up and they have been brass shells) (courtesy Classic Vintage Drums)



Started in 1969 and carried into the late 70's Blue and Olive Badge.


In 1971-‘72 Ludwig also used B & O Badges without Serial Numbers (LVDC) (badge courtesy: O-lugs)


Blue and Olive Cut Badge with rounded corners. This was on a Black Beauty Snare Drum from the late 70's


Started using this late 70's (1979) due to complaintes from the pointy badges above getting caught on things and bending.
