Finally riding a big boys bike
Gentlemen,
In my quest for the correct kickstand for my 1944 G519 restoration I have seen several different models used. The predominate one appears to me the style that Serge used in his restoration thread of his Westfield G519. It is the same as the one that I have recently acquired for my restoration. That being said, there is another style that I have seen on some "military bicycles". I use that term loosely, as I don't know if some are real authentic G519's or tributes, recreations, or clones.
While sorting thru a box of kickstands, "not mine", several days ago I pulled all of the kickstands that were similar to what I already have on other Westfields of the same era. Two that are pictured here are very similar, but have a patent number stamped on them, and, they are OD. One is complete with mounting hardware, one without.
Have any of you seen this exact model, if so, on what, and what would you value them at?
Thanks in advance'
Andy
