Sterling 925 Motorbike Chopper

I've bought this a few years ago as a part of a lot. A medal from 1870 was why I bought the lot and the rest were religious medals from Lourdes from the first half of the 20th century.

This little motorbike was part of it and hadn't paid any attention to it. Didn't even notice the 925 because I assumed it wasn't silver.

Now, some questions:
Can it be silver even if there are no marks beside the 925. I looks like silver to me.

Which bike is that? I was never interested in them and know nothing about them. Fantasy model or a known one?

Has anybody seen this before? All information & input welcome.

 

a chopper bike?

looks like a tie pin, is it?

 

I did figure out that it's a chopper and the pin isn't from before 1950. Brand? Model? These are the questions.

 

Yes, its can, and it looks like sterling to me too. Very nice detail, and as Phaik Hooi said, a tie clasp.

 

Does it say something on the exhaust (uitlaat)?

 

No, there is nothing on the exhaust. It just looks that way, just wear marks. There is another 925 but smaller on the front wheel. Other 925 is on the clip.

 

in the style of Easy Rider Captain America ? Harley

 

sorry i always thought chopper bike were mostly custom made, so .....

 

Harley. That outght to sell well enough.

 

Damn, it seems I really dropped the ball on this one. There seems to be a mark as well. FSG? Not sure which side is up.

Also, about the construction. Doesn't seems glued or anything like but in one piece. Sign of quality?

 

Yes choppers were custom but started from a stock bike and I think the favorite choice was Harley

 

tq!

 

I wouldn't expect two pieces of silver to be glued together.

 

The only thing you can say for sure is it resembles a motorcycle, It bears a resemblance to several different makes (top end of engine sort of looks like a knuckle) but nothing for sure. Choppers were as bobsyouruncle said custom and everything from Hondas to Harleys were converted but no self respecting biker would ride anything but a Harley

 

It does look like one. Crocodile clip but a really well made one. The width is 5 cm / 1,96 inch. A bit short to be one?

 

the "skinny tie" tie pin
i still have my dad's skinny ties although i am trying to persuade my brother to wear them

 

choppers have their name because every unnecessary part was chopped off to make the bike faster.

 

The bike part is mixed parts,cast and wire stock.Hard to say who made,a biker,student ,hobbyist,etc.The clip appears to be a commercial finding and possibly made by Esslinger. https://www.esslinger.com/

 

While stock Harley's made great choppers , selling this with any brand name would be wrong.
It's a Chopper...............das all.
