BSA Juvenile
I see that Holts are selling off the unsold lots in their latest auction. There's an Army & Navy marked Improved Model D juvenile model on sale 'buy it now' for £520 including buyer's premium and VAT if anyone's interested? Probably another £25 for postage. (Nothing to do with me).
Description here:
