There can't be many bikes from 1928 still in that condition! What kind of rear hub does it have? Nice find!

Agree with you about can't be many machines from these years in this condition..

About the hubs have not idea because bicycle is still in UK while i get cash to pay the expensive postage cost..

It has a quadrant shifter and at list i hope it has K series hub of sturmey archer

You are correct that the Model K hub would be appropriate. Quadrant shifter is appropriate. It looks like a great find.

When you are going back that old and that complete, you usually have to have the bike shipped from Britain. I know in the US, it would be very, very rare to find such a bike. The shipping "is what it is", as they say. But you pay it once and get a bike that lasts a lifetime (in this case probably two lifetimes).

Also i just hope the hubs have the oil cap marked with the famous hand
