Chain ring has sharp teeth but they don’t look perfect. Not sure how perfect they should be though.

NOS looks like this.

I didn’t read thru every post on this thread but it’s common for collectors to take the pedals off to save space especially when moved around from place to place or when bikes change owners- those pedals may not even be from this bike. I’ve seen collections with no pedals on the bikes. They get stashed somewhere later to hopefully be mated with the correct bike.

Nice bike !

I think the pics of the tank reveal that your bike is a very preserved original.

Mark is right. I worked at a bike shop decades ago and we hung all the bikes up without pedals, the owner always said the pedals get in the way and scratch the other bikes up in storage moving them around, he was a bike salesman who had been around since just after the war.
