Cool old Raleigh. The Hub looks Chrome, that and with the repaint I might be a bit suspect that the rear hub is original, but very well might be. The fender eyelets on the stays are of the older style as well as the brake calipers. The shifter looks to be from the pic. a 50/60's vintage. Chainguards can be added or removed so that's not much of a help. Get a good clear picture of the Chainwheel and cranks, also the lugs and the marking on the hubs. Also what is the tire size 26x1 1/4 or 26x 1 3/8? Welcome to the C&V and what a great old machine, make sure it gets lots-o-miles every year!
