Hi Chris,
@Robertriley
Sorry for the late reply, due to transatlantic time zone differences!
Thanks for the PM, and
@fordmike65 , thanks for the namecheck (-:
Congratulations, Yes, perfectly good G519 frame, with a slightly unusual stamping of an inverted W instead of an M, which only appears to have occurred at the end of this contract for a short time. The two other examples I know of are illustrated above.
I think the description is accurate, a bike restored in pre internet days when information was less available. But it wouldn't be difficult to upgrade it, the Coffin rings are reasonably easy to find, and visually would make a lot of difference.
The presence of a W stamp in itself is interesting, since it is not a code letter previously used by Westfield. A year after this was made, they started to stamp Westfield made civilian bikes with a W code, but it implies the W stamps were bought in well in advance (or they just had a full set of letter stamps).
Best Regards,
Adrian
I'll reply to your PM later, need to go to work now.
