Not a Scorpion as the gusset is wrong, however the dropouts and lugged tubes are the same.  I know the same factory made about frame for 4 or 5 different manufacturers (Puch Challenger, Malvern Star, Centurian)


Here is my Scorpion, notice the completely different gusset.

I don't know but it's not a Puch or Malvern Star, I was thinking Appollo looking at those rear dropouts but don't remember seeing one with that type of Gussett?

bodamus :-\

Looks like Australian, Scorpions had a different gusset as already mentioned and the serial number for a Scorpion should be on the seat tube not the BB.  I'd say more likely an Apollo made Bennett or Malvern Star, it's nice though  :daumenhoch:.
