G'day Trevorp *welcome*
Mac beat me to it (same page I was looking at).
1953 A10 plunger. Looks like someone has been there before by the long barrel stud.
Why not have a go yourself? Lots of info and members to help.
A frame number will help as your profile says 1951 GF
Now get over to Intro's and give us your story.
Cheers

Looks like it could be a later barrel.
The first job is to soak everything in penetrating fluid for a few days, then carefully strip it down.
Before you can take the engine anywhere you really need to know what condition the crank is in and what grind its on before you can ask anyone to do work on it.
Same with the cylinder and bores, otherwise you are taking it somewhere only to have the guy phone and say - bring me another crank or cylinder.

From bitter experience, an (untampered with) engine number will only tell you what model year bike the drive side case was made for. The rest of the engine can be a voyage of discovery ;) as can be the frame and cycle parts, come to think of it.
A lot can happen in 70 years…….

You're not far from Draganfly, I dare say they could recommend someone.

Hi Trev,
You are not very far from "Seager Engineering"
