Saw this bike on ebay

Believe it had an even stamped serial no. E xxxxx ['E' plus 5 numbers]; definitely post war frame; what abouit forks??? What year is this and what parts are from somewhere else?

Then ran into this on a military vehicle forum: same badge... Notice the Delta winner lamp and the reflector on a military bicycle [not for war zone]... Seems to me built by one of the Ohio manufactures, which one and when; G xxxxx serial number [ 'G plus 5 numbers, all even stamping and space]. What dialog can we come up with about is it for real a military bike?

The military bike looks like a Huffman built bike. It also looks like it could be a real military bicycle. But Would need to see pictures of the serial number to verify.
If it is a huffman built military bicycle it should have a date stamped by the serial number

There is no BB [photo for serial number] No. is said to be G36372. Bike was said to be purchased on e-bay [~2011] for $51.00. The man who had watched, gave the serial no. and claimed it was not WWII... so, I don't believe there was the necessary date stamp.
