Bikes: Fillet-brazed Schwinns

Post a close-up pic of the 4-digit number stamped in the headbadge. Also post a pic of any country of origin sticker/decal, which would most likely be found on the seat tube.

The reason I ask about the mfr. sticker is that I believe this is one of the first Schwinn bikes produced in Hungary by Csepel Zrt. (note the "CZ" in the serial number) for Schwinn: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1...-venture-bikes

According to the book "No Hands" 20,000 Woodlands models were recalled because "the studs holding the front cantilever brakes had a tendency to fall off." The book stated that the problem cost Schwinn at least $1 million.
