Its a bit of a shame that lead to a dead end, it would have been a result to reunite the bike back with the same family. Its probably more than likely that FR "Nutty" Russell built several bikes to the same spec and design.
From the photo above it might be worth checking that frame size. To me that looks around a 23" frame. Its hard to tell from a photo but your Grandad looks at least 6' tall so a 21.5" would seem a bit small.
Anyway, we'll have to consider this thread the collection point for anything F. R. Russell related :)
