Roadmaster ID Help

Finally riding a big boys bike
Hello all! Picked up another Roadmaster today. Haven't seen another one with this fork yet, wondering if that is aftermarket. Any help with what model and year I have would be appreciated. I saw the prefix of "H" was used a couple times, so not sure is this is a series 1. Serial# is H94338. Thanks for the help!

Mid to late 40's to early 50's depending if there letters over to the the side of the #'s ( Cw or ACw) that will tell exact year but I'm wondering more about the Snyder springer that is very strangely put together?

It's definitely not put together right. Here's all you need to know with these springers..

Question for you...I see on the chart on pg 58 of this post there is a series 1 "H" (1940-1941) and a series 2 "H" (1946). Are the other characteristics the you were able to tell the difference? Thanks again!

Easiest thing is no built in feet in the frame for rear stand so post war. if no extra letters over to the side of the #'s ( sometimes hidden by paint/crust ) it's probably a 46.

Ok that makes sense, I did see that somewhere about the rear stand. Lots to learn but really enjoying learning about these old bikes. Thanks again for the help!
