I just recently purchased a 1993 schon, pictured below.
After testing 4 different shafts and 3 different cues, all with 5/16x14 pins, I thought I'd share my test results. I'm sharing this info as I've seen questions on here regarding these pins but there seems to be conflicting information regarding them.
The Cues: Schon (1993), Adam & Joss
Joss is a 2003 and the Adam was purchased new last year.
The Shafts: Mezz WD700, Predator Pre-Cat, Schon Pre-94 & Schon 1993.
I'm calling the one Schon shaft a Pre-94 as it has the logo on the collar but not sure when it was made.
1993 Schon (Butt)
==============
The Mezz WD700 & Predator Pre-Cat fit on the 1993 Schon. Also, both Schon shafts fit the Schon Butt. I also tried 2 generic 5/16x14 shafts on the 1993 Schon and all worked fine.
Even with the odd pin the 1993 Schon doesn't seem to have problems fitting aftermarket shafts.
1993 Schon (Shaft)
===============
Obviously, the 1993 Schon Shaft fit the 1993 Schon Butt, however, it did NOT fit the Adam or Joss.
I couldn't get the shaft to screw onto the Adam. The shaft screwed onto the Joss but stopped about 1/4 from the end. See pics below.
Also, The Pre-94 Schon shaft fit on the Schon, Adam & Joss
The Schon Pilots
In the last picture is a close-up of the pilot on the two shafts. The left shaft is the 1993 & the Pre-94 is on the right. The Pre-94 is slightly concave and the 1993 is flat.
