Chas Roberts frame ID

[Canuk]

This is just described as 'steel frame', it's kinda obvious it's a pukka Chas Roberts, but I'm not sure it's an 853 or a 953. The rear stays where the metal is exposed is definitely not chromed, so I'm thinking towards 953. I have these limited photos to go on. There is no tubing decal anywhere on the frame.

It's lugged, obviously steel, obviously oozes quality but I've zero knowledge of Roberts or their output other than Chas shut up shop and moved to a barn nextdoor to Marc Madiot in France!

Any help identifying welcome.

Oh and the main tubes are all round to round, so definitely not 931.

There's definitely silver solder to affix the rear dropouts. There's no obvious finish on the metal other than natural, it's quite dull, so I'm assuming it's stainless?
