All the Swiss factories made the MO-5s at this time, the military bike folks apparently refer to them as a distinct model, the "armee" - They kept their own branding/head badges (while the Condors had just a swiss army logo headbadge)...Has the Torpedo rear coaster hub that is dated 1940, '40 or later. Got it from a woman who worked for the state department in Geneva when they decommissioned all the MO-5s in the early 90's." Pictures | 239236 | Early 1940s |
