Wish I could see the pics -- all that shows up is an orange "X" with Chinese characters...
As for the frame, it says "Ashdown", which is taken from a favorite Patterson drawing of a British touring cyclist entitled "Touring the Ashdown Forest". The frame is brand new; I made it myself a few months ago, using 531, and copying the British style of the 40s.
