The fork details suggest the 1950s such as fork crown detailing and the lamp bracket which I'm sure was way out of touch in the 1960's.
The front dropouts are forged I'm not sure what they are but they look weird on those forks.
I'm not sure if the critireum was build with 531 Tubing? But the lug works looks very plain and clunky. The rear dropouts are flat plate again not a detail you would expect on a mid sixties road bike unless it was build by Raleigh.
Maybe you could ask for a picture with the bike built up with 700c wheels, to give you an idea of the geometry.
To sum up then. Don't buy it. For that sort of money I'm sure you could buy a complete Carlton.
