Help with cue identification

Need some help with possible identification. This is a vintage cue I bought from Japan. It's not a KaoKao, Mali or Adam. Does anyone know who the maker could be? Richard Black thought it could have been his at first but it's not his either.

pretty sure "Asian Import Cue"
typically decent cue build and solid playability- ferrules and tips are sometimes questionable material and quality though
probably on ebay about $$ 100.00

It's way better quality than Asian import. I've seen and played with someone's Asian import and this is 10x better quality.

A lot of Chinese/Taiwanese cues are very nice. People don't think the asian shops do sharp points but they can and do. AZ'r Bamacues(Joe Lolley) used to sell a line of Taiwan steel joint cues that were flawless. Current Balabushka copies are Taiwan also. Could be early Lucasi/Universal work also. IMO its a production cue of some sort. Nice wand.

Taiwan cue. 98.639% for sure

Not branded so hard to say which factory made it.

Kao Kao, Kao Fa....other...

Often sold by Japan sellers on eBay today, brand like Ada Chi, often mistakenly identified as Adam.

Could be a Universal/Taican cue too. Inlays and rings have that Lucasi look. Does have nice points.
