Mystery Sports Frame 30's 40's HELP!

Hi All

Can you pleaseoffer your collective wisdom in helping to identify this maker and year?

I recently picked it up covered in red paint. The components are a mix of 50/60's so looks like it went through a very rough refurb around this time. All help much appreciated!
Thanks
Sully

Still trying to figure out photobucket

Forgot to say.....

It's 531 main tubes at the least

Re:

I would say 30s looking and possibly Selbach but not for definite. Interesting frame and forks. I've seen the lugs you have and seem to remember Selbach. Will check.

Thanks Simon....let me know

I know nothing about Selbach

Re:

Check out classic lightweights and also V-CC library for catalogues. Maurice Selbach was very well known and alot of frame builders worked for him before they started on their own. Granby could be another but 80% positive its a Selbach, Sully.

Simon.

Re:

Selbach was killed in 35, sadly but the name went on till 39. I wonder if the 9 at the beginning of your serial number is the year possibly? Just guesstimation. N9 for the forks the year?

Simon.

Looking at VCC but can't find a match and not many 30's catalogues.

I must admit I was thinking '39.

The Russ forks stand out a bit. Also the frame number at the top of the seat lug...haven't seen that before.

What led you toward Selbach.......the lugs?
