There are some surface, as would be expected for its age, and "18'' Cymbal" has been written on the top side, and later removed, though mark is still slightly visible if you look closely and with the light at a certain angle. Please view the photos for more info. The cymbal weight is 1485g. Checkout the video at https://youtube.com/shorts/yoTmmN_atjo.
