I agree on price, $400 is an optimistic price ceiling IMHO.
As for the Hosteller fork, I had it stuck in my head they were there. If not, and the fork ends and dropouts are Campy as it appears, then Professional it is. But it's not a Superbe, else it would have 531 ""Fourreaux de fourche et arrieres" decal. Pretty sure mid-60 is the year, crank swapped probably during the fgss conversion. Stronglight headset, Tiger brakes etc. Fits perfect.

It's a 3 tubes sticker. With the fork. Again, match for Professional. Might've quoted wrong post.
Close-up for reference, OP bike on left, full 531 sticker on right.
