Not sure about the Redline serials but pretty sure the 39's have nothing to do with the manufacturer. Look like markings made by a previous owner to me.

WHS ^^^

Looks like 39 has been etched into the chrome whereas the Redline stamp has been chromed into. It could be a zip code, a house number or something like that done by a previous owner.

Depends on where the frame came from, might not even be from the UK plus it looks scribed not stamped so maybe someone did it at school or in their dads shed. Find out who used to own it and maybe they can tell you

I got it off a guy from Worcester off ebay....the comms were poor with him then so probably won't get much info from him unfortunately...
