Robert; I'll be at the cycle shop on Monday or Tuesday of next week to get the serial number and get a few jpgs up for folks to look at. I've gotten a few letters offlist about the Nervex Pro lugs and it seems like they were available as early as 1952. I'm talking to Richard Schwinn next week possibly, so I'll forward the jpgs to him to see if Waterford has any information available.
Best regards, Peter

be the last year that schwinn did an "all schwinn" parts list for
paramounts. the top eyes are a very small oval plate, not the round ball
type as seen on harvey's. yes, a serial # would be the key here ... also
original pedals for these are very hard to find ... or so we've been told.
