@DDOW : I saw a picture of a frame with something very similar (the support strut) recently, can't for the life of me remember what frame it was... Perhaps a Bates (as I was looking around at photos of Bates stuff recently). Sorry. But, at least, I know there is something around with something similar... keep looking around! It may have even been on this site. Sorry for being vague.
This one's lugs look like hand-made ones, the way they're all blobby (curved transitions between the tube angles), rather than cast or machined ones. CB was famous for either fancy french lugs like Prugnat or Nervex, or lugless, or bilaminate 'lugs'. So that might suggest a smaller builder.
Try asking hilarystone (through here), he may be willing to give you his opinion. He's a pretty knowledgable guy!
