lol, so you did.

Anyhow, hasn't your fork been stripped? If so, there was possibly (probably) some flaked-off paint around the incongruent extra bend.

Dave's post on the last page looks on the money to me.

The thought had crossed my find that such a bend from a full frontal would more than
likely flake and/or crease the paint which there doesn't appear to be in the first pictures.

Of course.....if it was shunted what kind of forking clown would then re-spray it....

Dropouts point the wrong way for diadrent type forks, have you got any old frame you can put them in and see what they look like? Wild card could be track forks for a bike following a motor scooter, the name of which has gone out of my head.

Theoldfm, it looks like you were right:
the fork was indeed bend after the bike hit something solid, a car in this case, and was then resprayed.
