Can anyone identify this pool cue?

I've had this cue for over 30 years and was told it was a Mali cue. I was also told
that Mali Cue's have a 3/8-10 Pin size, but recently I tried my friends Cuetec cue
shaft and his pin size was larger. That being said, now not sure if this is a Mali cue,
or did Mali made two different pin sizes. Can anyone clarify this dilemma.

It does look like a Mali but more knowledgeable people should chime in.
What ever it is it's a nice old school cue.
 
Hard to tell. Every Mali i've seen was clearly stamped 'Mali' on the buttcap. Could be a unknown custom but more likely an Asian import of some kind. Also, a lot of older Mali's had ss joints. Later ones often had big pin joints.

I think I found a similar Mali. You can search the old catalogs. If you every ID the cue for sure have the logo returned to the butt cap.

Yours may be an early version of the Mali T-15, as it doesnt have the boxes around the inlays. My pin was 5/16-18.
