Yes, as previously identified as Tange. Tange is a big enough operation that I believe casting was done in-house. Also, as previously noted, those cast, off-road fork crowns were heavy as sin, and were only in production for a couple years before somebody had the bright idea of making a "unicrown" fork, where the blades attach directly to the steer tube. The result is both lighter and stronger than using a separate crown. What's not to like?
