That appears to be a UK item. To my knowledge, the usa made models never had the front fender plates like that. Rear tags only for the stateside bikes. All of the UK bikes had that tag up on the front fender. Again this is just what I have learned.

Excelsior !

I agreee, the Pedestrian Slicer type of tag is a good British indicator.
Also look at the font. That type of " E " is used in the British Excelsior logo.

From Roland Brown's ' Classic Motorcycles '
" Excelsior became Britain's first motorcycle manufacturer when it began selling bikes in 1896 under the firm's original name of Bayliss, Thomas and Co.
In 1910 the company's name was changed to Excelsior, following the demise of a German manufacturer of the same name . "

I didn't know there was a German X .

I also thought that is was the UK made,but I think its always good to hear others opinion.
