DURKOPP - 1939 Track bike

[corbettclassics]

Here's my old Durkopp - TYPE "Killian Vopel" 6 Day Racer. Not many of these seen today with the rare factory Durkopp hubs in red. Gustav Killian and Heinz Vopel were two of the greatest 6 Day Racers.
TYPE - Killian Vopel still seen on the head tube.

Nice bike. Can you help me put a date on mine?
Any information on the model or year of the bike would be helpful. Thanks Tom
