The frame reminds me of early-mid 80s US smaller-builder construction, he's the only US builder I could think in that arena with that surname initial, but that C looks so simply done and it leaves me with reservations. I suspect the canti bosses were added after-the-fact, they don't seem to fit the general vibe I get from the frame.
I still suspect it's a small-volume builder, OR maybe it's not, someone had this frame, stripped it to add cantis on and maybe do another repair (?), file the lugs while they're in there, and they could've very well the C lug addition in the process, along with the braze-on J/C eagle on the head tube. Those bits, the C, the J/C-eagle could simply be the second person who came along to add extra bits.
But I'm probably wrong
