Yeah, that's probably a Gazelle made Raleigh. The Dutch would put a fixed cog on the other side for winter riding.
Just one of the many nice details you'll find on a Gazelle GP.

I'm going to guess it's a Brampton large flange steel hub with 36 spokes.

its at a garage sale for 25 bucks in poor condition. I would get it if the hub were special enough. Didn't take pictures though. Doh!
