Paul23 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Help required, just in the process of restoring a Royal Enfield 350. When bought many moons ago was under the impression it was a 1938 model G but has always been army green. Can anyone shed some light on this bike . On the frame it is stamped 1891 and it's the same number on the left casting just by the cylinder. On the front of the casting by the oil filler it is stamped G2190. I believe the bike is totally mixed up with bits the old boy had in his shed. I would appreciate any help, preferably with photos, thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rewdco Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Thanks for the pictures Paul! But I'm afraid to say that this is a post war Model G, not a military WD/CO. The engine number has a "G" prefix, and it is stamped close to the oil filler. And the Model G had a headstock which is 1" higher than the WD/CO (also visible in your picture).

Paul23 Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Disappointing but thanks for the info. At least I've got something to work with. Thanks Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul23 Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Jan, I don't suppose you could give me a year of manufacture, I was always led to believe that it was 1938 but you've blown that out of the water, if you could, cheers.
