Subject: [CR]1955 Holdsworth Zephyr - Headbadge Detail Request

Seasons Greetings to All.

Does anyone else on the list own a 1955 Holdsworth Zephyr? Can anyone confirm with an image what the headbadge looks like for this machine?

I own frameset #17374 missing its headbadge. The headtube has been drilled with two hole on 1.675" centers not the more familiar 2.25" of the 1957 and later machines.

The 1955 catalog line drawings do not show this detail, but hint at a unique badge for this frameset. If anyone has a good image, feel free to attach off-list (or point).

Of course (wishful thinking) if anyone owns a very nice non-damaged example of the appropriate headbadge and is willing to offer it for sale, please contact me off-list with your quote (PayPal, shipped to USA 30189).

If there is no response, she will get redrilled and turned into a faux 1957. Stop me before I commit this injustice if you can help !

Kindest Regards, Sincere Thanks and Holiday Cheer,
