@roadking your Hobbs sounds fantastic especially as it has real family history and is mostly original. Having a brass and enamel badge as well is the icing on the cake. Its really useful people share their original bike configuration. It really helps the rest of us!
My uncle had a Hobbs in the late 40s/early 50s. I have a picture of him on it but unfortunately it disappeared whilst he was in the army.
Thanks for your interest @littleK. I'm probably going to replace quite a few things as I suspect that someone has sold some of the parts and then someone else has added replacement parts (probably in order to sell it to me!). But I'll do it over time as period parts turn up, and I'm riding it regularly. I'll post updates as I manage to find the parts.
