There maybe a line inside the seam on the top, LHS?
This is a known original bike.

Hi Mark,
yes, your pic looks to be the "Prague A". Lived under a cover since 1939. That's the tank, or rather pictures of, that I have seen.
Parts of this bike and story are shown in "Back to A".
I'm pretty convinced about the pinstripes either side of the beading; the "outer" one overlapping the paint edge to tidy it up, and the "inner" one, 3/8"-1/2" in from the beading. Lines being perhaps a fat 1/8" and running from front to back edge of the tank.
How far does the maroon [or Black] paint and line goes past the outer edge of the beading and onto the s/s panel? Well my jury is still out. But, if I had to bet, I would say 3/8"-1/2" just like the inner pinstripe.
Good stuff.
Regards,
Delboy.
