Curious.......

I've never seen a picture of one...I have some marking info from around 1942.

Do you have a bike?

Jim; in answer to your question, on Canadian motorcycles, no, they were not applied.

Yes, I've had my WLC for about 17 years. Hunted down and sourced the missing military pieces . Motor in being built at P&D right now .
Was sold at the St.Thomas airport auction after the war and used for hare scrambles ! Really looking forward to this restoration.

Occurrence but interesting none the less.
