It might be a modified 1100F swingarm. Are you looking for a stock '80 swingarm?

It looks like a Kosman swingarm but it’s been 25 yrs since I’ve seen one but the rear of the Kosman swingarm is different than yours, the Kosman had a stock rear axle cradle and adjusters! So I don’t know what you have!

Here is an CB1100F, don’t think that’s what it is.

Any chance it came off a drag bike?
It MIGHT be from McIntosh Machine out of Ohio. Don't think they are still in business.

Hi, I had one like it but without the brace, Pretty sure it is a Dresda swing arm from what I found out when I found mind.
Probably find a pic of one if you search online.

Whatever it is I like it’s simple design, I wonder how it fits and functions?

Looking good! Your countershaft sprocket is possibly on backwards. There should be a raised flange on one side and that goes out.
