Holdsworth Frame Numbers

[Peachy!]

It’s definitely not a Claud. Either original or Holdsworth

Bit of a query here , picked up the below bike which has a Holdsworth sticker on the head tube and Criterium sticker on the non drive side at on the top tube near to the head tube.

Previous owner sadly deceased so can't ask him.

Bit confused as no stamping's have to light yet other than the raised LB-01 on the bottom bracket shell which i presume is the makers mark and model code but i can't find any info or ref for LB bottom bracket ,

English threading and 27.2 seat post , forks are presumed non original as they are Benotto pantographed .

So 2 questions could it be a Holdsworth ( which i doubt ) or any ideas what it is ?

There might be a serial number stamped on the fork steerer.

More than likely will but it's going to one for a Benotto as they are Pantographed Benotto items so doubtful they are the original ones

Is anyone able to shed light on the markings on the rear ends (Osgear pattern), REGD 8452 (driveside) and D845255(nondriveside), presumably both said REGD845255 before filing?

Probably a registered design number, research suggests the year 1946, unfortunately records are not digitised…
