Nervex Lugs
The Lugs are Nervex
Nervex lugs
Head tube lugs are Nervex Legere: Nervex Leg.Lugs
Mixed up with the "Professional" seat tube lug: Nervex Pro lugs
Can anyone identify the fork crown lug?

I was hoping to find someone on this thread that knows English frame builder well enough to identify the builder of this frame?
The seat lug looks like a very nicely filed Bertin (but Bertin did not do this) The lugs could be Oscar Egg lugs and frame treatments say early 1960's date but the water bottle bosses say 1970's (possibly added later?) The serial number reads like some of the Bertin Frames with a 1973 date. The Lamp Boss on the fork is so very clearly English. Lots of contradictions for me.
.... I need some high grade English frame informed help here..
