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.

Ludwig B-stocks are expected to use the Blue and Olive badge, and have no serial number. However, some of the drums in this latest batch from Ludwig have had Keystone badges. Your drum may come with a keystone badge. 

Ludwig B-stocks are expected to use the Blue and Olive badge, and have no serial number Ludwig B-Stock snares have strictly cosmetic blemishes that happened at the Ludwig Factory. The blemishes are usually difficult to find and the drum will still function, perform, and sound just as well as an 'A-Stock'. These drums are still factory sealed, and minus any cosmetic issues, factory B-Stocks will still carry Ludwig's Factory Warranty.
