It is an AA-Special. The internal routing and engravings on top crown (Gazelle in circle) tells us it is no AA. It is also not the SWB AA-Super model. Defo AA-Special. Slightly odd with this frame is the decal on the top tube. Not that it mentions only "Champion" is odd, as that is normal for models sold on the German market. The use of block-letters is unusual, as that is from an earlier era. Maybe Gazelle ran out * Italic "Champion"* decals when this frame was made?
