Hello Japeseye. I notice that you are after a crankset. I currently have a Stronglight 49a crankset, which was manufactured between 1933 and 1960. I can date mine to the mid 50's. Despite this, they are a perfect crankset for your bike.
I would be looking for £100 for the crankset and a 49t Williams chainring. the chainring is chromed, with no pitting or peeling and has minimal wear and is of a similar period to the cranks.
The cranks are english threaded, and have been rechromed professionally. They have been given the tripple plate treatment for extra durability. The cranks are also cottered, however, don't let this put you off. I can probably include a set of decent quality cotter pins for free, and a huge selection of cottered BB's and english threaded cups for an extra £15.
The 49D model regularly sells on e-bay for in excess of £100 with a chainring. the last time I saw a 49A on e-bay, it sold for in excess of £150.
No pictures at the moment, but if you PM me, I will take some.
