Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Latest bike, camel back, thought to be Columbia. Serial D15721, no headbadge, of course. The fork doesn't look at all like my other Columbia (serial D37040). Headbadge mounting holes are offset like Columbia, but the badge on the one I have will not line up, neither will a Westfield headbadge I have. Photos to follow....

As bought..

Photos #3 and 4 show the blue paint under where a badge would have been. Photos #6, 7, 8 are the fork on the motorbike Columbia I have. Photo #9, 10, 11 are the fork that came with this bike. Note on photo #11 that there is no hole for mounting a front fender.. Photo #12 I tried to show the spacing for the head badge.

Any input greatly appreciated!!

Additionally to the above, the chain ring is POPE stamped like the Columbia I have.

Columbia since it’s not a motorbike that would be the right fork. Looks like you just need the badge.
 
The thing that bothers me the most is the round shouldered top of the fork. Most of the Columbia's I can find of that vintage have the flat top.

Here's a photo of a very similar bike posted on the CABE by dfa242 on Aug. 24, 2014, a Columbia Junior. Similar frame shape, same rear drop outs. The fork is very different from the one I have.

Hi Mike, I have the reverse problem. My forks say westfield. I have forks like what you say, but the chainring is Shelby and the HB holes are like yours. Sent you a PM.
