Are Magister grinders rebranded mazzer? Any info would be appreciated.

It seems to me like Magister does not actually manufacture anything at all, they only rebrand equipment.
The pictured grinder looks like a Fiorenzato T-80 to me...but I could be mistaken on all counts.

yes indeed, a fiorenzato t-80. these were current for a good many years and have an excellent spares availabilty. they were discontinued several years ago when the company launched the doge series.

however they are once again being produced by the newer firm quamar:
