O.K. Raleigh experts, I need some help. I recently got a "free" Raleigh frameset with the purchase of a Super Record headset. The frame has been completely blasted and repainted (badly). However, I did note traces of yellow and red paint when knocking out the headset cups. The frame has the Raleigh head badge. The fork crown is sloping Cinelli style with smooth lugs. The top of the seat post lug has a point on it, like I've seen on some other Raleighs. The top tube has three braze-ons for rear brake cable on top of the tube. There are two sets of water bottle bosses, one on the seat tube, one on the down tube. The derailleur cable guide is a screw on type that goes under the bottom bracket shell (I assume given the threaded hole at the bottom of the shell). There is a pump peg brazed on to the back of the stearing tube. Seat stays are conventional but semi-wrap around the seat post lug. At 54 cm, the frame weighs a scant 1835 grams on my digital scale. The fork weighs about 600 grams. The frameset has campy drop outs.

Any clues?
