I think you're right. In their catalog they have a little "Made in USA"
logo which is NOT displayed for that vise.

Ok, it's made in Asia, and I am not going to pay $428 for a vise, I wonder
if it's one of the "good" Asians?

I'm a bit put off by metal the consistency of brittle cheese. Think about
it this way: There are few ways you can abuse a real Wilton that will
render it crippled or unusable. If you buy a $428 Wilton today, you'll
never buy another vise, unless you need more of them. If you buy a
chinkalloy vise, you'll probably bust it in two or three years.
