What does it say on headbadge? That's the first place I check on a Raleigh I'm unsure of. It either says "Nottingham, England", "Cycle Company of America"; still others have headbadges with rows of XXX's instead. I'm not an expert really but I though the Grand Sports were sort of a re-use/ripoff of an old model name.
