Austrian Omega catalogue ±1927

After the official production of Omega had been stopped, Omega motorcycles were still sold in Austria and Czechoslovakia. These motorcycles were built by the former Austrian importer of Omega motorcycles, mr. Robert Sturm, who had taken over the remainders of Omega.
Probably new frames were still built in the former Omega works by mr. Green, as in the description of the frame ("Rahmen" in German) is spoken about the "new robust construction of the 1927 frame", which is "original Omega from the best English tubing". Many parts were still bought from the same suppliers as Omega used, like engines from JAP and front forks from Brampton. The sheet metal parts, like the (saddle type) tank, separate oil tank and chain guards, were of different design than the Conventry Omega's. They were built in Austria by Joseph Pruckner.
In the description of the frame it is mentioned that this robust design is especially for "bad quality roads in English colonies and successor states". Therefore these Austrian Omega's are also known under the name "Colonial Omega".

I have 2 scans of specification sheets in German language, which are probably from an Austrian catalogue. As the frame is described as the 1927 model, these sheets come probably from the 1927 catalog.
Probably these were the only models available.
