I don't think it's raw, looks chrome plated.
This was sometimes done to allow a bright finish through the paint, and occasionally to allow chromed lugs and stays.
Occasionally the complete frame is badged up chrome, but the finish somehow looks a little lower-end.

The fittings on the frame look like mostly nice quality framebuilders' parts, so i suspect it's not a brand, but might be a known framebuilder.

Derailleur wheel indicates pre-92, but the lugs imply earlier still.

The toptube cablestops carrying plate is distinctive.



Good luck👍 hope you find out.

Thank you
 
I think it will clean up nicely if you get the right method.
I would suggest you go for the chrome lugs/ half stays look.
