Hello Phil, That's a proper pukka Saxon. Its so bloody easy to tell the difference from a Claud produced Saxon. The twin seat tubes are totally different and it ain't a Butler number. My guess is its a 1938 Saxon. Bit nearer than the ebay description. Copeland is a mega dealer and has all the right contacts with the other British dealers to get an accurate and informative description. It ain't much good on accuracy.
