Cruisin' on my Bluebird
What identifies it as a Marine bike? How is it different from say an Army bike? A very cool bike and I would bet not many survived. Please post a picture of the head badge.
The head badge is the same stamping as the prewar ones but it is steel and not brass like the prewar badges or aluminum like postwar ones. I thought it was odd when I removed it and there was rust on the back side but paint on the head tube. I put a magnet on it and low and behold, steel. I've never seen another made of steel. My Army bike is missing it's headbadge but I assume it should be as well.
