From this distance, the point where the seat stays come into the seat/top tube jointure seems to look right, but you're really going to need closer detail to tell. If you can get the seller to do any other pictures, you want to see the underside of the bottom bracket and the rear brake mounting point. Those are usually unique to a Rossin. Seeing the fork crown wouldn't hurt, either, although it could be a Rossin fork on some other frame.
If it's the same auction I'm thinking of, I was a bit bothered by the seller calling it a Tommasini at one point. Odd mistake. If it was one.

Looks like a Rossin record. I have an early '80s Record that has mostly NR components, came with Modolo Speedy brakes. Mine's red, but I believe they also came in blue. Check online for old Rossin catalogue pics.
