    Guessing it's a quite scarce and very early Improved Model B (apparently the first Improved Model B was 14230) but you really want to ask the mods to move this topic to the 'Collectable' forum section as you will get a lot of help there.

    According to the John Knibbs book

    Serial 14270 falls in the range of 14230 to14729 and is a Sixth batch BSA either standard or light pattern improved model B.
    Manufactured Feb-Mar 1907 and left the factory between Feb 1907 and Nov 1908.
    Photo looks like a standard pattern to me.
