I used to have a pre-war Humber that had that same twin bladed front fork. Bike got trashed, and I made a lamp from the forks- which I still have.
Mine had a spider made of men holding hands walking round the chainring which was a Humber trademark but I don't think they all had that.
[QUOTE=Mirky87;3095563]I have bought this off a couple who shipped it back with their belongings from Japan. They believed it was post-war (1945-50). Was hoping that somone on here might know a bit more information about it, even just a heads up on the mudguard insignia would be great or on the lamp (it reads 'SPECIAL MAMOL HEAD LAMP' and takes D-CELLS). So far my research has led me to think that it's post-war ex-service but any more insight on dates, manufacturers etc would be great. QUOTE]
