the "chisel" treatment of the stay ends where they join the dropouts is a helpful narrowing clue toward determining maker
you can easily narrow national origin by measuring tube diameters and bottom bracket thread
despite serial ending in "...87" frame is not that late
lug pattern appears to be BOCAMA Competition 76 with cutout number R1
Campag frame ends are model 1010/B
cannot assume that the eight braze-ons expressing are all original
some or all may be add-ons
slightly odd that it expresses these eight braze-ons and no w/b
does not appear to be of anglophone origin
two possible national origins from what can be seen are BE & IT

EDIT:
sent a PM to member @MauriceMoss on this and he reports it is a Batavus Professional from NL

Well spotted by Mr Moss!
About the numbers on the BB shell of the white example:
"4" = last digit of the build year (in this case 1984)
"54" = frame size (center-to-top)
"6798" = serial number
A very nice pro level frame. These could be had with Columbus SL as well as Reynolds 531.

Good question! I've wondered about that myself, but haven't yet found the answer.
I've seen "EA", "PG", "B", "E" and now your "H". My best guess it's a framebuilder's initial.
So, "Harry"?
