Can anyone confirm please if Bicycles with this type of marking have a post-war pedigree.
I would suspect just post-war.

Neil,
That number, starting 6 / VEH /, looks to be a British Contract Number, and pretty sure it is post war. Many PW vehicles have Contract no's on their dataplates, starting with this ref.

Neil, I have a bike with a similar number that I brought back from Dirk's place in Holland. He said it is British but I have not been able to identify the manufacturer. I wanted it to put in the back of my DAF. If you get any more info could you please let me know?
thanks, Barry

Here's the frame number off my bicycle. Note it's on the left hand side of the frame: CB 9526. Does this ring a bell with somebody?
Thanks, Hanno

I suspect any designation starting with a contract number is post-war but I have no definate proof.
Certainly BSA bikes and I assume others just had a serial number prefixed with a letter and a WD arrow applied. The BSA war-time Bicycles also had 28" wheels. Quite if all war-time Bikes had wheels of this size I do not know. Last edited by Neil Ashley; 26-11-07 at 16:03.
