Hello Woodie, glad to be of help. I would be very interested to hear of any history your Argson may have, and I am rather wondering if the other chap who replyed on the listing who said he had a similer example with a beaded edge front wheel may actully be the owner of the other known Argson Victory, and whom I've never been able to precisley pin down. He has an (old) website floating around (which I can't find the name of right now) and I tryed to contact him about a month ago via the email address thereon, but it no longer registered.
Althogh I'm 99.9% certain your Argson is a Victory, rather than a Runnymede, is it possible to confim if it has a bolted-together chassis (Victory), or welded-together chassis (Runnymede), just to set my mind at rest? Your Argson dates from about the last month or so of 1945, and this is right on the cross-over period of time between the two models. Built one week earler it would be a Runnymede, and one week later it would be a Victory, if you get my meaning. Also, does it have a chassis number anywhere in sight? Usulally to be found on an oval plate rivited to the headstock.
Do please stay in touch
Best regards
Stuart
