Didn't get it from here, but 99% sure it was built for Sparky33.

I wouldn't hold your breath. Probably going to have it for a while.

Very well could be although your lighting makes the paint look more navy.

Well, mine does look darker than that. Did some digging, and thought it was a match. Has SP and 1415 stamped on the BB, but not so sure now.

Regardless, it fits me well and I've been enjoying it for ~3 years.

Yup, that's it! Color matches and it has the exact same marks on the down tube and chain stay. Although the marks look worse in those pics.

It came set up for Pauls, but I switched out the studs for Shorty Ultimates.

I didn't get all the goodies from that listing (just frameset and headset), but got it for less.

You can really see the workmanship when a frame is stripped for re-painting.
Here's my Bob Jackson, made for me in 1972 - spearpoint Prugnat lugs and long reinforcements:
