It looks to me like a Frejus fork and correct for the bike. The all-chrome finish is slightly surprising, but the forks with half-chrome ends and chrome crown were usually plated all over -- could just be that the paint and decals have disappeared over time, revealing the chrome underneath.

Two people raised questions about the fork, which was not clear in the photos - I have added some dropout and crown photos to http://picasaweb.google.com/MarkABattley/Frejus

They show that fork does have spearpoint ends and a horizontal cutout on the sides of the crown which I have seen on other photos of Frejus'. Is the fork correct?

Thanks for the help!
