      Can't say I've ever seen a m1917 with a British formation sign, but I did once see one with a Canadian Broad Arrow stamped inside the liner.ย

      . Hi Flibble, ย  I had a bike very similar to this but we believed it was a built somewhere 1946 -1948 looking at the numbers stamped on it, I had probably had it nearly forty years and never ridden it, just used it as a static exhibit at displays we did back in the day. ย About three years ago I gave it to a neighbour in the village that has an interest in assorted militaria with no specific time frame. ย  I thought I had posted about it when I gave it away but couldn't find it in a search I did on the forum, so no photo of it.ย  ย  Normanย D.

      The lot stamp is upside down. Approximately 1โ€“3% of all WWII McCord stamps appear upside down, most commonly in the earlier production ranges, though examples can be found throughout production. I believe this is lot 106E, for sure 1x6. ย  The loops appear correct, although their attachment to the shell is slightly unusualโ€”possibly due to insufficient amperage, welding time, or both. Lot 106E examples are known to show these characteristics. ย  The dimples are extremely faint, to the point that they may not be visible from the exterior, though they should still be detectable from the inside. Many shells in the 9xโ€“10x lot range exhibit this feature. A sharper image of the stamp would help, along with photos of the rim interior directly behind the loops to confirm dimples. Iโ€™d also like to see the opposite loop from the inside.
