[helicopterjim R.I.P.]

A good start. At least everyone is guessing Guzzi's.

 

One of the guesses is the right model but still looking for the right year!!

1939 airone

[helicopterjim R.I.P.]

Ben. Do you feel comfortable that the bike you have pictured is a 1939 model? You are the quizmaster so we can not doubt you but I don't want you to be mistaken!!

[grossohc]

What about a 1935 GT W 498cc. I would post a pic if i could.

Unless you can come up with a picture proving me wrong - no!

 

I like the pipes on the GTC though ...

 

[DeBenGuzzi]

I don't know if that is a 39 but I can't find a TRUE for sure photo of a 39 , sorry

 

and it appears guzzi didn't even have modern forks until the airone.

 

truth be told I don't really know jack about old guzzi's. I just really like current ones

[DeBenGuzzi]

I think it might be a 39,

[DeBenGuzzi]

now I'm not sure again, another place(in italian) appears to say this model is a 56?

[DeBenGuzzi]

I'm going to say 45 airone.

[helicopterjim R.I.P.]

Getting warmer as BFG would say but his clues don't necessarily lead you to an answer.
