Hello Sam, Happy New Year. The transfers fitted to this frame look like Holdsworthy S.E.20 too me, my eyes are not what they were perhaps you can make it out. If they are Holdsworthy they only used these as seat tube transfer and generally fitted a Macleans metal head badge to the Macs they made, this would have been post 1962. The lugwork is exquisite and very much in the Carlton International looking mode also a bit of H.R.Morris and Dan Genner. I would have expected on a Macleans frame of this quality to have found the external stiffening tangs fitted to the BB chainstay lugs. Should be easy to tell if it is a Mac because it will have a letter prefix to the frame number probably "K" in this case if it is post-war which it more and likely is. Who knows but a great frame and a true thoroughbred and very rare and desirable. Still trying for your decals but no luck yet. Best wishes Mick.
