Think 1948

Didn’t the Series D have oil nipples fitted?

Yes, I was told by W.E Humphreys, when they were in Hamstead Road that I was purchasing the very last set of factory built Series D Girdraulic forks, and that must have been back in the late sixties, they had really nice small oilers fitted in various locations, including the bottom links, I really liked them, sadly those forks got completely trashed in a "sorry, I didn't see you coming" T bone accident in 2005.

Yes oilers rather than grease nipples were on a pair of my forks
