Title: can you help identify?
Post by: Randiobrien on June 04, 2015, 02:18:55 PM

The following is an image of my grandfather after his return from WWII. Im guessing around 1947 - 1955' ish. He recently passed away, and I was given this photo of him. I was hoping to get help identifying what type of bike this is and any other information that would be valuable or interesting to know. Thanks so much.
