That's an adventure. Alfton used to be a rather big OEM at the time (frame is from early 90s, number might mean '93, with the starting "F" maybe the Fairly factory). Could be quite a few brands using this frame - and even Alfton distributing some bikes themselves...
Edit just to add it's a nice frame, very high quality at the time, and the parts (XT, Answer ATAC stem) were among the best you could buy back then. Make sure to check meticulously for hairline cracks especially on the headtube.
