Hey all! Looking for some more info on this bike. I cant seem to find one like the setup I have. The locking springer fork and chain guard are different from most I’ve seen with the hockey stick guard. And wouldn’t this be a skip tooth also or is this just a different model?Any info on this bike is appreciated. Thanks

I agree with Jason and given the consistency of its deter,. I'd say what's on it is mostly if not entirely Original. You have a '38/'39 there it looks like to me!
 
Probably the Springer and guard are from 38. While its always nice to see a drum- I think its later. Maybe 40's. The original fenders seem to be MIA. The handlebars are cool but sacrifice handling and stability.
 
Good eye! I just gave her a quick bath and I’m diggin it. The fenders look original or a very close to it. I still haven’t seen this paint scheme on another bike.

If you look at the top bars on your. ;bike one can see the original ivory "dart" that is covered by black paint. I also see the shape of the dart. Some people say the side of a plastic ball point. pen tip can be used to remove top coat. On my 3 7 I used my fingernails. But I don't recommended that
