Subject: [CR]AVA Road Stem - Looks Lugged, but Isn't

Greetings!

I just bought a handlebar/stem/brake lever/shift lever assembly. I bought it primarily for the Suntour Barcon shifters, but it came with an interesting AVA stem. The stem looks like lugged steel at first glance, but upon closer inspection it appears to be cast aluminum. It is non-magnetic.

Here is a picture:

Does anyone have details about this stem?

Thanks!
