Tim,
In correspondence, Albert Waller mentioned that his son, living in France, might be commencing manufacture (1980's). However, this one looks er, used enough to be one of the originals, and as Peter said, it appears to be a g enuine Kingsbury.
Have you found a serial number yet? The full number usually appears on the steerer tube. As V-CC Marque Enthusiast, I would appreciate details for m y records, if you wouldn't mind. Good luck in finding, perhaps, an Effgrav e, or possibly a Clawed Buttler.
