I picked this up a few months ago, no headbadge, lots of mismatched parts but no real numbers either?
I posted some pics in another thread a while back and the general opinion seemed to be that its an early CWC Western Flyer.
After tearing the bike down for some much needed bearing service, I can see the original paint is a dark plum or burgundy color.
The forks seem to match the rest of the frame color wise, as do the fenders.

Here's a shot of the BB shell, the only numbers are crude punch marks. The paint on the frame is pretty heavy but not on the bottom. There's signs of it having a center kickstand at some point, along with the drop stand.
There's a few chips in the repaint that reveal bare metal, so my guess is that this was stripped bare before the repaint so I don't get the impression that the numbers are painted over.
What are the chances it never got stamped with a serial number?
Or maybe its not a CW frame?
