    Yet Another Unknown Indian? Fender

    Just picked this one up online and the ad said front, though turned out to be rear. The fender has a large hole in the back for a brake light and three, small, evenly spaced holes beneath the larger one. Kind of looks like a hybrid between skirted and whatever they called un-skirted fenders.
    There are also no braces. The ad described this as 1930-1940 and the infamous Indian/Harley slash. This fender also has four bolt holes on the top where someone mounted a luggage rack, though you can't tell if it was OEM or not due to corrosion.
    Anyone know what this one really is?

    To me looks like a 1940s Indian rear fender (based on mounting holes for luggage rack) that someone 'de-skirted' 'customized' Nice.

      Thanks, Paul. Now that you mention it, when you look at the profile photos you can barely see the angles of the cuts.

        Here's the inside. Is this consistent with a skirted fender? Looks like they cut the nose as well, if that's what happened.

          Here's a couple more. These are both from a trusted seller and from a 40 year collection. They are both Indian and this one is a rear fender that looks military.
