I paid quite a bit more than $ 250, so I am rather shocked at the $/lb or rather Euros/gram that this piece costs. In truth I expect it is 6061 T6 as that is the best forming and machining of the higher strength Al alloys.

I didn't find a company with this name, but I did discover that Oakley is using this tradename extensively in their lines. I guess it's true - "Oakley makes the shades that transform a tool"
