Say folks, looking at this bike, I get the impression that a bike of that era, especially a "fancy" model such as this, would have had chrome, Do you think it was partially chromed then painted over? And the transfers... Was there, in fact, a Reynolds 531 decal with that huge fat gold border? It's unlike any I have seen, but I don't claim to have seen them all (Just 99%! Ha!) Also, would a Raleigh of that time frame have had that seat tube decal with the Chevrons? Doesn't seen to fit to my eye somehow. Looks generic rather than accurate.....
