Mavic Seatpost. Have one. Weighs a ton but amazingly strong.

Prototype one-bolt seatpost, but there are some details that don’t look quite right about the cradle.
On the upper part of the cradle, where I would expect a corresponding valley for the saddle rails, there’s a bump, which doesn’t make too much sense.
On the lower, there seems to be a vertical guide rail for the upper (to prevent twisting?) , which seems a bit odd also, as you get vertical alignment from the saddle rails themselves for free.

Mavic seatpost from around 1990 when they also made their first indexed derailleur systems. Maybe even an MTB post?

That is a Mavic 330 Seatpost. It sold for about $90. It weighed a ton, but a very solid seatpost.
