Just rec'd this from Ed Young... following is some of the details as per his email:

PurpleHart, black leather wrap, wood trim rings at the joint, "A", "B", butt, Kersenbrock "Roller -K" logo in the butt cap.

It was made about 15 years ago.

A DPK "Elegant Solution" is a simple cue without any points. A cue with exceptional wood that plays well. Most only had joint rings and occasionally a matching butt ring. This cue has rings at the 'A' and 'B' also. Dave called the Purplehart cue a COD or Catch Of the Day. The term refers to the wood in the cue. The material in the cue was the best or most unique wood out of a batch. The Purplehart is actually figured, not real common. Figured Purplehart is usually quite a bit denser and crisper hitting. Figured Purplehart plays great.

DPK did the joint protectors, he refers to them as "champaign corks".

Kam, I really like the description of this cue. My primary is an Ed Young straight grain PPH with Kers rings -- I'd be interested to see how differently they hit.

Kam: you finally received it. I bought mine about the same time from the same owner. Yours looks very nice.

Did you get a new Ed Young, too?

ED says it's not ready as yet so he shipped the DPK first ..

will post up pics of the Young as soon as i get it ..

this a nice cue though... :)
 
Man, this cue was the nutz. Of all the Kam cues (almost all) this was the best hitter to me. It was virtually point and click.

Kam, you know who to call when this goes to market. ;)
 
Nice Ph Ey!

Very nice looking cue.
I got this one (far left plain PH) and hits good, but haven't been able to adjust to the lighter weight than I'm used to, so let me know if you're ever interested in another to almost match....
