JUST FOR YOUR INFO, 1941 WAS A TRANSITION YEAR.
THERE ARE BOTH 5 AND A FEW 5 3/8 HEAD TUBES!
IF IT IS A 5 3/8 HEAD TUBE A POSTWAR SPRINGER WILL WORK.
THE GIRLS PREWAR IS 7 INCH HEAD TUBE.

41 girls have 6" head tubes, even described as a new feature in the catalog. Only boys 41s I've ever seen with the longer headtubes were DXs, but there may be other models as suggested.

will have mercury paid off soon, ready in two weeks for next items I need. looking for a 1941 schwinn locking springer for my canti, AND a 1941 womens locking springer for my wifes schwinn. understand they are 41 only. help please!! here is a picture of a 41 mens. womens is a 6" frame headtube, mens is a 5" frame headtube. both have the extra welded on bumper tube behind head on bottom for a fork stop View attachment 653811

I'm not sure what you are talking about here. The fork stop is a small tube welded on the frame of the bike not the fork. It has a small rubber bumper on each end. V/r Shawn
