OP says "It appears to be Columbus or Dedacciai.", personally I have seen only one "labelled as Deda" fork and that had no rifling in the butt, if not for the fork blade label I'd have had no idea what brand tubing was used. Also it came on a frame with a Deda label, so there's that, but not a guarantee.
Those are other people showing their "butts" (LOL), which are, in fact not butting but are "splines" or grooves - one is extruded, the other is machined. You are correct, this is an "aero" fork, as you put it (learn how quotes work, BTW); however, it is not a "uniclown" (which I understand you to mean unicrown) fork - learn the difference. I have seen many Deda steerers with butting, but that 's more on high-end bikes that, maybe, you haven't been exposed to. And anyone can put any label on any bike - that doesn't mean anything. Hence why I am on here asking, instead of just sticking whatever decals on it. Sorry if that sounded snarky.
PS - I'll post a pic of the steerer next opportunity. But of course, that does not tell me what the frame is, as one can put any fork with any frame.
