    35D5 is a frame lug casting number , may be headstock, can't remember, will go and have a look later, but they all have that on them. various similar numbers on all the original frame castings.

    35 D 5 on the headstock and 35 D 9 on the seat pole casting. Many times those are mistaken for frame numbers, so there is many Scouts registred with that as a frame number.

    DGP 4317 is allegedly the last engine for 1928, so 5013 is the 695th item on the line in 1929 of maybe 5000 produced that year, so that ought be quite quite early in the season.
