You can determine the actual model by measuring the size of the seat post. A Reynolds 531 frame would use a 26.4 - 26.6mm post. I'm not sure on the correct post size for a 620 frame, but I suspect it is something under 26.0mm.
Edit: The steel post and lack of shifter braze-ons also point towards a model 620.
Okay. Thanks for the heads-ups, T-Mar, Colonel & Poguemahone. The frame does feel heavy, so I was suspicious.
