Hello all:
I have a limited edition Richard Black Helmet cue. It is signed by Richard Black dated '92 and is numbered 2/150. The Helmet inlay is ivory. It has a brown speckled irish linen wrap. Rolls straight apart and together. Please NOTE the shaft has a couple surface marks in the finish close to the joint. ALSO the finish above the wrap on the butt has some surface cracks. I had called Mr. Black and he quoted between 100-150 to refinish depending on type of new wrap; that was last year and I never followed up. This cue has a little bit of a write up on pages 175-176 of the 3rd Ed Blue Book.
Specs: 59" Butt is 16.3 OZ, shaft is 3.8 oz. Tip is layered leather, ferrule appears to be ivory but I am not certain. Pilotted 5/16 X 14 joint.
Whitten 1X2 case has RB initials on cover and is in brand new condition, no chalk marks at all, not even a slight blemish or mark at all. I do not have the spacers or rod. Cue fits in case perfectly with the JPs which are included. Case is spring loaded and the shaft has free mobility.
Please PM with any questions or comments. Trying to get pictures loaded
Loooking to keep this set together. Asking 950.00 shipped CONUS.
