Brian, In my (perhaps limited?) experience, any Grand Jubilee will have that name painted on the top tube. E.g. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fred_rednor/1145869600 Also, all the examples I've seen (perhaps 6 or 7) had Huret Jubilee derailleurs. I always thought that was the difference between models like Grand Record and Grand Jubilee, since the frames looked so similar. But I also can imagine that the equipment changed over the years due to availability, exchange rates, etc. Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
