Put in the manufacturers number into google and only found the 6-7 nm versions. I'm thinking that maybe they made an early batch with 5nm specifications. I will write to them because I love mystery.

You send them email. Great let me know what the outcome is. cheers
I was thinking about asking on their facebook page

I've sent an e-mail and listed the Lordgun site as a stockist of that particular type, saying I was wondering if it's not the real deal, and whether or not they ever produced a rendition of the stem with different torque specs. Have Hope Eric..

I also wrote to their FB

Now where's me carrier pigeon?

Mmm, I may be proved wrong but I'm pretty certain I had one like this year's ago and that was 5nm torque as well.

I also think it's real, and it seems like the people who are selling them used online bought them quite a while ago, probably an earlier rendition with 5nm torque specifications, but I'm a sucker for the drama and I hope it's fake and there's an elaborate conspiracy, with a small gang of Hope enthusiasts in China perfecting their knock off crafts, infiltrating legitimate markets. It's my viagra.

Can’t imagine it’s worth producing knock off Hope products that are relatively cheap anyway. It would still take some producing even in China and wouldn’t sell in a great volume really. Ali baba is worth a search if you have time though.

I understand why it’s worth making Dogma frames , S works etc as they are worth ££££
