ok, so if I'm reading this right, this is a 1938?

OK Thanks Obi....I'm still confused but, appreciate the info.
Pre 48 confuses many of us....especially me.
That's why I'm here.

Scott, it is a late 38 or early 39. I only have a couple A and B serial numbers, one being my brown super deluxe (B19111). However, I am starting to think that might be a 39. The only way to really tell is by the brake lever (large stamped) but even the catalog shows a DX with a shorty.

does it make a difference if this is the bike? it has flat braces on the front fender which I think is original. the rear fender has been changed I think.
