Correct Decal for this Shelby Motorbike

[Freqman1]

So while at MLC I was told the Western Flyer badged variety of this bike had a "Flyer" tank decal and not "De Luxe" like seen with other badges. Anyone have a pic of the "Flyer" decal? Is it a cursive type font like the "De Luxe"? V/r Shawn

1933-35 western auto catalog shows this.1932 catalog shows "Flyer" decal

I wonder if it makes a difference whether it was a Shelby or not. I don't think the bike in that ad is a Shelby. Do you have a pic of the "Flyer" graphic? V/r Shawn

Are these tanks still available anywhere? Didn’t ML have a bunch for sale at one time?

I actually was referring to the NOS tank in Shawn’s first post but thanks for your reply.

I saw people buying these in quantity a few years ago so I'm sure they are around. I'm thinking way more tanks than frames! Might post in the wanted section and see what happens. V/r Shawn
