It belongs to a commercial panel that was sold in Spain 20 years ago by a company called Telemach. It was called Telemach Professional, aka Telemach Madera (because the box was made with wood). As you can see the bat top is shiny and not textured, and doesn't match any of the model by Industras Lorenzo or Happs. Surprisingly, on the second shot, the real model of stick is not the same as the one I'm refering to (photo on the box). Telemach also released a model called Telemach 200, with a case of plastic and a Mag-stick (I had one), and also a whole cabinet ready to be used with old 8 bit or 16 bit computers, which has PSM30 sticks (IL), if I'm not wrong. Pics attached.

I had one of these a while ago. The sticks were manufactured by IL and do carry their logo underneath. But you won't find them in the catalog, because they were a custom design job.  Hope that helps.

as you probably already know IL is one of the happ subcontractors (my happ super are actaully manufactured bt IL) the handle of one near the box that you posted (second photo) closely remembers that one that is used on the happ super. i've seen something similar on arcade shop. www.arcadeshop.de (http://www.arcadeshop.de).

If you only want the handle to polished you could try to sand a "super" on more passes with increasing finer sand paper and do the finishing with the novus products.

EDIT
Ok I'm an idiot I din't read all your post before replying
