Durex freewheel?

[added a bit to previous message]

front mech is model 600 Allvit

the font employed for the name marking is a helpful clue

this was changed about 1965 from a thin upright script font to the one we see here

have been thinking cycle may be slightly later than date given by p.o.

DUREX is a rare gear block marque, never had one come through me workshop

checked at one of the francophone fora and they (even) never had one...

also not listed at VB

The Durex freewheel spins:ratchets very nicely ; in fact one of the first things I noticed.
Yes I was thing the same about arrestor; maybe limited capacities in left hand. Surprisingly it works fine ; never seen on trike for front brake I will have to research this.
Rims need trueing...
Wrights saddle has canvas under leather. Undercarriage painted black.

Unfortunately cycle was repainted and then someone took an abrasive wheel of sorts to read the serial. I would have to put paint stripper on it to find the other three numbers. Kurt Kaminer ‘s site said BB shell s/n dating was from 63 to 69 and if in fact 48 first two digits would place it 1969. Caveat is these serial patterns observed on Sports, Superbe, Dl1 not other models.

unfortunately chain is Union made in w.Germany

yes, noticed that in one of the later pictures it can be seen that plates are not beveled - eliminates Renold

Durex freewheel?

View attachment 1417290

As @juvela said, the freewheel is of German origin.
Durex started out in 1903 making coaster brakes.
