Last wseekend I bought a very nicely made track frame which is stamped on the underside Swiss made. It has some rather beautiful hand cut/formed lugs not unlike the Swallow lugwork used on some 1970s Hetchins, but judging by the fairly thin rear droputs this frame I would guees as having been built in the late 40s/early 50s though it is fitted with a Campagnolo headset at present. The frame number as with many Swiss built frames is stamped on the side of the seat lug, 7754.

I would appreciate it if anyone can help with its identification.
