That pictures a little small, but I'm with J.T. on this. I reckon it's a Tange frame as well - quality.

What was the swap offered?

Try and get some better pictures, I like those Tange frames

Get some better pictures first - particularly of the frame & fork. If it is a tange made frame, I'd be tempted to do the trade  :-\
