Indian bicycle identification

[newbee]

I have what appears to the a 28" wood rim indian bicycle. I am very skeptical about this one because I can not find a thing about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am considering purchasing this beauty. The badge says "red indian", has brass and wood hand grips. Is it a real indian? He wants $650. what do you guys think?

more pics coming soon

great bike but i dont think its a indian. possibly a brand that tried to capitalize on the indian name.

your bike was prob.made by Davis or even Miami.the year of the bike is circa.1914-16.the asking price is kinda high.but then the bike is rare.and the name is just a name and not the motorcycle brand name.
