Who makes this AOS Silvertip brush?

[NickedUp]

I was just gifted this brush from a (rather affluent) friend who gave wet shaving a try and didn't find it to his liking. It's a really nice-feeling brush- a different experience altogether from the Semogue boar I've been loving thus far.

It looks a little Kent-ish to me, but I don't know for sure. Does anyone know who makes this brush? For the $180 (!?!) they charge for it, I'd hope it's somebody reputable, though knowing AOS, who knows?

It looks like one of the Muhle brushes that usually go for $30-40.

AOS does re-brand expensive Plisson brushes and charges $300-$450 for them but this does not look anything like a Plisson.
