Looks like a 14x5" BB to me!

I'd say yes. The Imperial Lugs give it away and there appears to be 10 of them.

Were the Slingerlands for sale too? Did you buy them as well?

I concur, 10 Imperial lugs rules out a blacrolite. Looks like a BB to me, too.

Hope Vust doesn't mind me giving the story... A guy form the neighboring country to ours is selling the kit + the Black Beauty through a local drummer's forum. It's a 1966. Slingerland, 20x14,12x8,16x16. It also includes a Slingerland TDR chrome over brass snare with a Ludwig strainer:

Hi guys, yes this is Ludwig black beauty 14x5, blue olive badge that is already sold earlier by me, Slingerland is 20x14,12x8,16x16, that i want to sell too, shells are maple/poplar/maple and date is 1966. , finish is blue satin flame that has slightly faded to gray.
I am selling it in Balcanian countries craigslists because i already have one 18,12,15 Slingerland from these years that is perfect for jazz, what i actually play. So i don t need 2 similar drums.
I was very surprised as i opened this thread and saw my drums here ...The guy who posted thread was interested on the snare, greetings to everybody !
