I assume there's a similar oil port on the left side of the bottom bracket as well. Those were common up to a certain time, when they fell out of use. I agree it's from the 50's and very nicely made.
I'd like to see the fork crown and the seat stay bridge, both front and back dropouts, and the seat stay tops. Serial number location may help as well (i expect there's a serial number on the steerer as well as the frame).
i am not convinced all the brazed on bits are later additions. Could be, but i don't know.
Are there holes on the head tube where a metal badge was attached?
