Had a look, closest thing looks like a Kuwahara stem off the bravo/ exhibitionist, but the sides look more rounded on them.

Looks to me like a hybrid,

I'm guessing it's a Tuf neck base with the top part off on an acs rotor .

its a copy, Tuf/Pro Neck have black shafts not chrome; neither have ever produced any stems with a chrome shaft.
