The mudguard is Royal Enfield, dating from around 1956.

The fairing looks like the 'Airflow' type as fitted to Royal Enfields.

It's possibly from a Crusader or Meteor model?

I'm not sure if the two stays shown attached to the mudguard are original?
Possibly??

There seems to have been many different styles of mudguard used around that period by Royal Enfield.

Possibly someone from the Hitchcock's Royal Enfield forum (Notice Board) could give you more information?:

The one shown on the right is definitely a Commando Roadster left hand (battery cover) panel. And I'm pretty sure it is from the 1974 850 Roadster version.

I'm think the mudguard may have come from a Royal Enfield Clipper. It would have been unsprung and not fitted to the fork sliders.

do you have any photos of the clipper with this mudgaurd it just feels as it came from maybe 125 to 200cc machine.It just seems too narrow for anything else ill have to find the size out obvious from the photo it could be any size.

Both Clipper and Crusader models of the period (I think?) used mostly the same cycle parts so could be from either?

The only thing in the 125-200cc range at the time would have been the  150cc 'Ensign' model.

Could you possibly post up some better photos of the m/guard? (and an outside shot of the mystery oil tank?).
