very easy to tell if it was originally a military bike. The left side engine case will say 42WLA followed by its serial # If it was a regular production/civilian bike it will start. e with the year & WL . Even though the WLA's were built thru out most of WWII they all were Stamped as 42's. Even though they are cool little bikes , they are far from rare ,with nearly 120,000? built. And they can be all over the place price wise ! $12,000-$22,000 depending on condition,originality or if the bike is correctly restored ? but most that I see sell tend to be in the mid teens
