Are you going to share your insights? After all, it is the point of an open forum to engage in debate for the purpose of getting to the truth. You said you have the exact truth. If my input is inaccurate, then I would like to know. After all, I’m trying to reconstruct one of these models as well.

I doubt he'll reply with any info. Looks like the OP's serial is just four digits and no alpha. 4993 is what I'm seeing. Have you ever seen a 1934/1935 piece with no alpha and four digits? Possibly the first transition serials in 35? I've only seen a couple and nobody could/would verify.

Early Schwinn serial numbers 1934 and before should only have digits no letters... It looks like you are missing one there should be 5 digits
The only correct parts to this actual Schwinn are the Frame, Badge, Tank, Truss rods maybe the Seat Post...
Your speculations are right on the fenders they are not Schwinn too.
The fork is probably a Shelby that someone braised on the truss brackets from the original fork the headset is made of different parts not Schwinn
Their is very nice example that sold at the Copake ( I will try and find the pics) auction a few years ago you need to study the parts carefully or find a good parts bike.
It's Good start

Not offended at all. Your initial response was a bit cryptic. I just wanted to be sure we were keeping the discussion open to all and within this string. Good eye on the fork. After closer examination it clearly has a flat angular crown, unlike Schwinn. Thank you for the input.I wasn't talking about your input I just know prewar Schwinns that's all don't take it personal

My understanding is that pre 35 numbers are crude hand stamped with no preceding Alpha character.
