It might be worth giving the fork blades a close examination. I think the PR-10 fork blades were made from seamed tubing and sometimes you can see this seam on the trailing edges of the blades (especially in the chromed section).
No matter what, this bike is still one of the most beautiful
looking bicycles from that period that I've seen.
