Anyone Recognize This Fork?

I am trying to identify what bike this may have come off of. It is for a 27" wheel. No serial number, Reynolds 531 steel, Campy dropouts. It is hard to see but there is a white pinstripe running pretty much the full length of the blade. It also has eyelets. Any ideas?

Orange. That color was Crescent's signature color, so that was a great head start.

Could also be from a Monark or Scandia.

Would be from a model 319 or 320 either way.

Same fork but made with Maeda ends used on the model 318.

Vagner crown model PL.

From early 1970's.

Manufacturer sponsored two racing teams in the era of this fork. One rode orange bikes and one blue. White bicycles were also offered for "independents."
