WRRS (Early FS) Possible GRSA Gong Information

My first bell that I ever obtained was a WRRS, missing its base. It has an extremely odd gong that sounds exactly like a teardrop bell or a GRSA Bell. I need more information on this gong since I have never heard a WRRS bell that sounds anything like mine.

My bell is made out of aluminum as it’s very light and it has the WRRS 222/FS Bell paper inside.
If anyone has more information about this odd gong that would be great!

It’s not likely that the bell was manufactured like that, but that’s a possibility. There’s a chance that the gong had some sort of impurity, or it was replaced, if the original gong cracked... who knows.

Kinda sounds like a bryant zinc or rrs gong. My best guess is that the original gong was damaged and needed to be replaced, and they used a bryant zinc/rrs gong.
