I have seen two prewar Oscar Egg frames in the fllesh and photos of three more. All had transfers as a head badge rather than a metal badge riveted on. Braze-ons seemed to go from none to having the pivot for the striking fork brazed on to finally having the lug for the tension arm brazed on. The later thirties ones with Nivex hubs, of course, had Nivex type dropouts rather than the ones usually referred to as Oscar Egg. If any of you have an Oscar Egg or any more information, I would love to hear from you. Stuart Tallack in sunny springtime Sussex.
