Original - Springer Front-End - Handle-bars/Grips, Goose-neck - Frame - Panther Chain-gaurd - Tank - (have not checked the horn) - It has New Departure Hubs. Front Fender/Light is missing. it is 100% Rideable as is, It Rides Fine! As far as the Vintage/Year/Model, it has the Pre-1948 Serial Number - (located on the bottom of the crank - "bottom-bracket") D30xxx leading me to believe it to be a late '47 0r '48. It has a Built-In Kick-Stand indicating '46 or newer. It appears to be a Panther - I have referenced the Model with a 1950 Panther advertisement and it appears that this is that Model - also I have added a reference link to a 1941 Panther ad which shows the same Chain-gaurd. I haven't yet found an ad from '47 or '48 for a ladies Panther. Nice Chrome on New Departure Rear Hub! Great Tires - Very Good Condition to ride.... Headbadge is missing. All Bearings/Brakes/Kick-Stand are functioning just fine. A Very Collectable/Rare Schwinn/Bicycle Piece - a Perfect Start for a
