Fortunately I got it at a good price irrespective of year. The year would surely change what parts I put on there though.
Richard Schwinn has several pages devoted to
Paramount History on the Waterford website. The page "Dating my bike" explains the serial numbering schemes for Paramounts from 1938 through 1994.
H831 is August, 1968. If it were an August, 1983, bike the serial number would be H83
01 (two digit sequence number).
Waterford also does authentic restorations of vintage Paramounts, and has head badges, decals, etc., for the various production years and models.
