Sachs Fork, not Sachs Frame?

[QUOTE=unworthy1;20997166]Odd that a fork with Campy ends would mate with a frame that has Simplex DOs plus the other details with assorted guides but clamp-on TT clips makes me think it's a Richard Sachs fork planted on some (entirely) Other Brand frame...but maybe RS was quirkier that I imagine!

It is possible since frame was repainted the same color as the fork without any decals. I originally bought as an oddity and a parts donor, but would like to refinish if a worthy candidate; or at least find the fork a nice frame to pair it with.
The seller thought it was of German manufacture (perhaps remembered "Sachs"), had owned it for awhile, and never mentioned any change out of the fork. I've not made any notes for group date codes, but I think most of the stuff was late 70's to mid 80's. Curious as to the age of the fork since I hadn't seen an example yet.
