From the evidence of the pictures this frame could have been made by almost any small frame builder.
The Nervex 'fishtail' lugs were very popular in from the late fifties well into the sixties. I guess the forks are not original and look more modern. I also suspect the frame has had some alterations e.g. the top tube cable guides are probably a later addition, and possibly the chainstay bridge. Is it a 27" wheel frame cut down to take 700's? (hence new forks). It would be interesting to see the rear fork ends - are they the old type with the longer slot?
None of this means the frame won't make an excellent bike. Just get rid of that horrible paint and enjoy it.
