Peugeot PX10 HELP Needed

[stringfellow1946]

I've just acquired a PX10 exactly the same as this one in the same colour scheme.

Anyone know where I can obtain decals from ? & mine is also missing the head badge.
looking at the web link it looks like mine is either a very late 50's or early 60's model.
All the lugs & the fork crown on mine (see attached Photos) are exactly the same as the one on the web link.
All mine has left on it is the Reynolds 531 frame decal & the Peugeot ones on the down tube. (see attached Photos)
I've e-mailed http://cyclomondo.net/page38.htm to see if he has anything as thats where I get my decals from normally.
Also need to know exactly the colour blue to use when the frame is resprayed?
SO any help or advice greatly appreciated.

I would not paint it, the original finish and decals are not that bad and it will be worth more kept original.

The original Decals & paint are fucked, believe me. As it is, its just a piece of junk, but professionally re furbished with the time period correct parts fitted it becomes a desirable classic. If its not restored it will just deteriorate even more. This is in My opinion is a frame thats well worth restoring back to its original condition.
But thank you for your thoughts, we all have different opinions on how to preserve old things & I do respect yours.
Its just not my way for this particular frame as its too far gone paint & decal wise. As a matter of interest of the 30 plus old bikes I own this will be only the 3rd one that I will have stripped to bear metal & re-sprayed.

IMHO, I'd paint it too. These vintage bikes are hardly investments that provide any type of return. Why not get it nice and pretty and enjoy looking at it. That said this company has some PX 10 decals. http://www.velocals.com/servlet/the-Peugeot/Categories
Hope this helps.
