some tubesets came with the ends of stays and forkblades "domed" so if a builder wanted quick results he just used them as-supplied.
But many builders re-cut, filed, shaped those ends to add their own individual touches and when present it's more clues to establish the identity of a frame that's otherwise unmarked.
From what I can see of the craftsmanship there's nothing wrong with this frame. There's no chrome which sometimes connotes a lower-than-top-of-range model, the seatpost size (27.2 or smaller) could be another clue as to what tubing was used.
Another thing to check is if you see 5 spiral "rifled" ridges in the inside butt of the fork steerer.
