Turns out the. Gillott spearpoint I wanted these for us no good so won't be needing them . It was advertised as a 22.1/2 inch (57cm actually) but is in fact a 24 inch c-t-t! Quite the measurement! Also, and worse, it was missing it's forks as it has been in a front end crash- there is a tell take dent/ ripple under the downtube by the head lug . Oh well. On the plus side it came with a Gillott branded steel stem, GB levers and bars, Williams chainset and a 1948 Sturmey Archer AM hub, so these are least easily cover the mighty £40 it cost me. Needs to go though, I have no room to keep it and it needs repairing by someone the right size for it if it can be saved
I have found two:
Mansfield narrow saddle that is from around then or perhaps earlier
Brooks oval badge
Both no rips, Brooks more weathered look (sun/rain perhaps) but also less £.
