Looks like it!

So it looks like it is actually a Blue Riband then. The fork crown is correct and the lugwork on the frame is consistent with other pics of Blue Ribands. That also means it’s quite a bit earlier than I thought.

That's a campagnolo Gran Sport braze-on on the down tube though though, so likely mid 50s i'd say. They only seemed to be around for a few years
