As already said, it does look like it could be Curtis built. Having said that, a lot of the later Curtis frames were made under license by Rickman. So may have come from there. Its is unusual and I've not seen another like it. Looks like a cross between Curtis, Rickman, PR and Lazer frames.

Forks are similar , ie pac man style Lenny but the ones on the MT Racing Aero Pro are aero shaped tubing ( very thin more like a JMC fork profile from the front ) and those are round tubing and look to be brazed aswell .

Unusual frame and forks though  8)  does have a lot of Curtis hallmarks as a few have already said .

Well it's hand built as a Curtis is brazed welds maybe it was custom built for someone?

If your selling it I'd be interested it's quirky :daumenhoch:
