Can anyone tell the head diameter of a B&D special no.2 snr. 31304 -1931 ?

I think all of the Special #2 banjos from that era were 11" diameter. I've never seen one that was another size.

I used to own Special #2 serial number 33308. That banjo was definitely 11"

Thank you, John!

I read this question at a Dutch forum and I only feel qualified to say something (not remotely all ) about old Gibsons.....

I passed on your answer.
