Super-Hex DBE Wrench...is it a DuroChrome?

[DuroChrome]

A family friend gave me this wrench and it looks like it is high quality. It looks very similar to the Western Auto Super-Chrome line, the 'chrome vanadium steel' font is identical to the Super-Chrome on AA.

What say you? The box ends are thin and the broaching looks like high quality work. Anyone else have any Super-Hex wrenches?

The only reference I know-of on Duro/Indestro is the Alloy Artifacts website.

They show a "Super Quality" duro-chrome wrench, but no Super-hex that I can find.

I looks pretty similar but I haven't found anything in my google searches or on AA like it. Super Quality, not Super Chrome...DOH!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "yeah, maybe".
As I recall from reading AA's site, Duro/Indestro were known for stamping their wrenches "Chromium-Vanadium" while their competitors chose the more common "Chrome-Vanadium", but the more I read, the more inclined I am to believe that was not always the case.
I've noted many inconsistencies in different design/finishing details on Indestro stuff recently whereas before a few months ago I believed that "all of this ***-series of wrenches were always marked and finished this way."
