the RGF marking on the bottom bracket shell is the maker of the shell - Raccords Gargatte Freres

the firm also produced a few fittings

The frame number, from my database of Falcon frame numbers, places it probably at 1964. Is this a frame you got from Mike Spratt?

this crown is an Agrati item

during Ernest's time with the firm he employed a fair number of Agrati bits

have the plain version of the crown, without the cutout, listed in an Agrati catalogue where it is item N. 001.8518

cutout may have been an option not shown in the catalogue have here
