Found Fork

I picked this fork up at a second hand bike shop. Among all the forks up on the wall I knew it was the diamond in the rough so I picked it up for about ten bucks. Anybody by any chance know what it is or seen the stickers before? Reynolds Tubing I'm assuming. No rack bosses above the dropouts so not from a tourer. I'll cut, rethread and put it on my wife's le tour. I floated the idea to her and she called it hoopty. I call it an upgrade from her press formed and tack-welded fork.

it's a "late" 531 fork blade logo. might be from a (high-end) Raleigh: great fork, especially for $10! I guess you have some shop skills (and a lathe) since you say you'll re-thread it.
