It's one of the last contract of 3HW's supplied in 1944. The saddle tube is Triumph Engineering Co Dec 1944.
These last bikes where fitted with 7/8" bars and no steering damper.
Your engine is from an earlier contract in 43.

Thanks Ian-Ron, would thees later bikes have a 6 1/2" headlight and maybe a tank top filter as it has the tank cut away. I spoes getting a near complete bike is a bonus but are they worth while restoring. Barry

Yes Barry a 6" headlamp and a filter would be good. Absolutely it's worth restoring. You can now get reproduction mud guards chain guards etc from Ace Classics and Russell's still have quite a bit of stuff for them.
