We unboxed one drum from a larger shipment of B-stock Bronze Beauties - This particular B-stock drum that we unboxed is pictured with a keystone badge. Ludwig tells us that B-stock drums usually come with the Blue and Olive Badge. Your drum might have a keystone or a blue and olive badge. These are factory sealed - we will not break the seals to find out which badge the drum has! If the badge is an issue, please contact us before purchasing!

Ludwig B-stock snare drums are factory sealed, and have the full factory warranty minus any cosmetic issues. Ludwig factory b-stocks are only cosmetic issues. B-stock snare drums will sound and function just as good as the A-stock version.
