That looks like one of the common, more-offsetted alloy 2-piece Taiwan posts from the 1990's.

That's considered vintage by many sellers now, even if they want you to believe it's old and rare.

I would be semi-surprised of there weren't a mfg date stamped on the shaft down where the size is also stamped in.

My guess is it's a Kalloy variant, I've had a couple of these.

Taking a look in back, I have 2 just like it: dated "KI" (K1?) and "G 92", but not actually branded. So early 1990's it is.
