That's no Gillott (I have 2).
Nice frame though.
Lug shape is wrong. Gillott's hand cut lugs came in 3 styles; Spearpoint (with a rare version with windows called Connoisseur), Fleur de Lys and the rare curly.
But also details like pre-war style 'guard eyes and drop out shape make it something else.
You could try Mark Stephens (google him + Gillott) he's the VCC marque enthusiast and has > 30 Gillotts, he's got a Flickr full of them, he knows a good deal about other marques from that period.
Obviously a quality frame.
