Prewar but no clue

[brewtownpete]

I just picked this frame up, know it's prewar but that's it. It was missing the badge. I took it apart and the dogleg crank arm had these markings:
"M 41 36"
A diamond shape with a "R" in it
And what appeared to be "1G"

I don't have a clue what brand, but... What's holding that seat post in? I don't see a clamp or a bolt near the stays. It will make a great build, whatever it is. Gary

The fork looks Westfield to me, similar (or the same as) my 42 Sport Tourist, but that bike is earlier.

There is no seat slamp, its built it. There's a sleve that fits around the post and theere's a bolt and nut that pinches it together.

FWIW... and this is thin gruel... Shelby used that style of chainwheel, and the fork looks kinda shelby-ish :?:

Yeah looks the same, what size and type of wheels are on that bike? Thanks for the help identifying this bike.
