[Vincent.vanGinneke]

Stanisław Kajetan Przespolewski (Warsaw, April 8, 1910 – Breda, June 8, 1989) was a Polish painter who lived and worked in the Netherlands after the Second World War.
He is best known for his pencil-drawn portraits of Polish soldiers in the Second World War.
A few of his portraits are kept in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.
Before the war, Przespolewski attended art courses in Kraków, Vienna, Paris and Poznań.
During the war he fought in the First Polish Armored Division and advanced from Normandy to Wilhelmshaven.
In 1949 he married the Belgian-Dutch wife Jeanne Prisse (1921–2008).

Looks like a 1928 Model E ?

two happy lads on a 1927 OHV, is OP2297 still around ?

The ex pipe has had a hard life on Stanisław's machine. Is that a Dutch number because if it was a UK registration it would be from Glasgow between March 1928 and June 1930

OP 2297 is not in the register or on the DVLA database. OP is a Birmingham number in use August 1926 to July 1927, which fits with a 1927 model, probably D as it is a single port with valanced mudguard, although it should have a carrier but it doesn't look like a new bikes.

Glasgow can de correct as the original text with the picture read : Skp Scotland.
