World Sport info?

Hi folks. I recently busted my Voyageur's frame (bought two months ago used), and was fortunate enough to have a used dealer that would replace the frame for free. Viva Via Bicycle!

Anyway, the only Voyageur frame they had wouldn't work with my wheels (it was an 11.8), so they decided the best (compatible) frame they had on hand (and in my size) was a World Sport. I can't even begin to place it's time period based on it's graphics, which are unlike any I've seen in my limited experience, so I can't even hazard a decade guess... limiting the value of the headbadge number.

Oh, and I searched extensively... no go.

Here's what I can tell you (can't do a piccie), and a case of Pabst BR to anyone who can figure it out:

headbadge - #1275... "Schwinn Quality"

#'s on BBracket - GO585 5311470

#'s on head tube - none

frame - 4130 chro-moly, lugged, I'm guessing single-butted (doesn't say double)

color - grey

decals - white and pink (!), bi-color stripes leading down to bi-color "S" on seat tube, World Sport with pink capitals and much smaller white/grey letters on top tube, bi-color SCHWINN with bi-color stripes after name on downtube

components - all from my Voyageur, so no leads there...

anyone?
