After digging around this forum for a few days, taking into account what the seller stated and now uncovering the original paint - I'm a bit (well a lot) confused on dating and identifying this frame.

I have not found a look-a-like with the same darts and geometry. It also has vertical head badge holes.

Hi, Freqman,

the list is correct, just badly cut/paste and quoted. (I should know, I wrote the original).

(Note to Thebigorangecat (TBOC), it is useful to give a link/reference to where you find information so that people can check for themselves, or see your sources when doing their own research).

See post 11 here for the full details.

I agree that Frame number E125267 is 1940.

There is a second BB code which is a letter and one or two numbers which indicate when the frame was made. This can just be seen above the Frame number in TBOC's photo. It seems to be an F and a number. If TBOC can tell us what that is, the year and month the frame was made can be deciphered. If it is F then the frame was made in 1939. The number will indicate the month.

Hope this helps,

Best Regards,

Adrian
 
Adrian,

Sorry for the butchered cut and paste - I forget sometimes that others could use this thread for their own research. I'll look tonight on the BB for the additional markings. I highlighted what I think you are referring to.
