Sorry, looks German to me, but I have never heard of this make roll bar. Maybe one of the European Pelican-heads would recognize it.

Are you sure it was aluminum, though? Most sanctioning bodies in the US will not accept aluminum alloy roll bars and cages without some hi-powered engineering documentation. Most tech inspectors are familiar with mild steel and chromally DOM tubing rollbars and have tables on hand for approving dia. and wall thickness of these materials, but put an aluminum cage in front of them and it will be head-scratching time. They are not likely to buy off on it without sufficient documentation. I have heard of some of the Matter alloy cages in factory race cars being questioned before.
