ID '50-'60 frame, libellula tubing

Hi everyyone,
I just got an old resprayed frame with (possible) original parts, anyone can help me ID it?
It's made with libellula tubing, nervex pro (filed) flat dropouts and an unknown but correct fork, what is it, Nervex Vagner Haden?
Based on the tubing it could be an Rabeneick, Frejus and maybe many others..
It came with; Magistrioni cottered crank, Ambrosius stem looks like short model '39, and TDC continental S headset.
The latter was rusty and maybe correct but the upper cup fitted loosly, lower cup and crown race fitted firm but still removeable by hand.
Except for the BB nervex stamp, an 'A' on seatlug and the dragonfly, no markings yet on the frame.
Soon i will start to remove all the non original paint, but on this moment i like to get some hints on the crown and possible brands, it will help me in my search!
When cleaned a bit better i will make an online album, Thanks till so far
