Hmm....Looks like I was wrong!
another one here but half the price
falconvitesse-
All the same, you were right when you said it wasn't worth the asking price.
I notice that the two frames are only similar to each other (cheap plate ends, heavy tubing etc) but different lugs finish and brazings; I suspect the 'Criterium' transfers were used pretty much at random - and you certainly wouldn't want to ride a crit. on one of these!
To give credit where it's due, the elaborate finish on the first of these would be worthy of a much better frame and it's survivied about half a century without tarnishing - remarkable, but pointless.

I need a little help here please. I'd love to buy this frame, but the forks just don't look right to me. The gaps where the fork ends attach to the legs are just not right, they remind me of a low budget Peugeot !? Also, there is no frame number on the left rear dropout.
The offending joint

Does anyone know much about this model ?
Thanks
