Although the kinesis dropouts were usually labeled as kinesis. This one has no demarcation at all. Of note this fork has lawyer tabs.

BUT: that Kinesis has curved blages and your "APS ALAN" straight blades, plus the joint between blade and crown (on K) is a straight line where the ALAN is angled (or is that an illusion? looks like it's angles downward from out-to-inboard)
Last detail: unable to tell from one pic but is that Kinesis steerer 1" or 1.125" ?

BUT, on 2nd (or 5th) thought Kinesis did make CF forks with threaded 1" steerer (or so say the eBay ads) and some straight-blades, too, crowns have some variations. So it's possible that at least the fork could be one so therefore not made by ALAN
