Identify This ... Fork Edition

Picked up this fork the other day.

Campagnolo dropouts and 27" wheels seem to fit best.













Here's some decal/pinstriping remnants.



Thanks.

Bikes: Several, mostly not name brands.

Looks nice! Wagner crown with continental oval blades includes a wide range of possibilities, though.

Anybody recognize the cut-out style on the tangs?

Can't guess a make (British? Benelux? Swiss?) but the tangs look like they might be re-purposed reinforcements for a brake or chainstay bridge.
Second thought: Based on the wild paint and slight points on the blade ends, I'm going to guess "Swiss"...perhaps a Mondia or Allegro.

I'm guessing this fork was a "test fork" for a local painter/framebuilder. It has multiple layers of paint and "experimental" finishes.
