Claud Butler European 1959 transfers

[awac]

I have a 1959 European CB, that came to me as a frame and forks with a very nice blue paint job but no transfers, the catalogues on https://nkilgariff.com/CBcats/Cat_59/CB1959_Cat.htm are not clear enough for me to be confident in a “correct” or at least period set.

No the seat is not staying, it’s my build up one!

Would anyone have a photo or a list of the correct transfers? Thank you.

Thank you, and I agree with you, it is good!

I think it will be the CB signature, but it was in flux in 1959 with who owned what name and seat post transfers as head badges. I am finding it difficult to find a photo of a European to check against.
https://nkilgariff.com/ClaudButler.htm is excellent but the brochures are grainy in that period.

Perhaps with this head-badge with Olympic rings to match?

Thank you for the reply. I believe the “Rings” were 1961 according to https://nkilgariff.com/CBcats/Cat_61/CB1961_Cat.htm

I did read somewhere that 1959-1960 had a CB seat tube badge used as a head badge, but unsure to which one. Does this mean it had a seat tube badge the same as well?
