Found this on Craigslist today. Please help. There are no markings on the cue or whatsoever. All I have going is the soft cloth that it came in. Thank you for your help.
 
The bag is a Richard Black bag, the cue is not a Richard Black. You may want to send it to Laurie at South West cues.

My FIRST thought was the SAME as YOURS. As SOON as I saw the picture and I hadn't even read your post yet.

He may have found something special. If it is what it looks like and the price was "special".
 
This is exciting to hear from experts of a GOOD POSSIBILITY. I just emailed Southwest Cues. We'll see what they have to say. Wish me luck!

Looks like it might be tulipwood. I have bought and sold similar cues for around $300.

It does look like tulip wood and it looks like a Southwest to me. It won't go for $300 in that case:cool:

Edit: It looks very similar to the first Southwest I ever saw and the one that got me started on them. That one belonged to Allen Hopkins at the time, he'd bought it originally for his girl friend at the time, not Dawn.

Nice cue. Good luck with the identification. Looks like one unchalked shaft too. Oh man.:thumbup:
 
A great cuemaker out of Oklahoma made some cues very much like these.
May be a Eddie Ferris .Still a great cue just not a SW.
Look for a VERY faint sig in pencil.
Mohawk or some import is another poss.

Good luck;)
 
I don't know if all SWs kept the same length measurements for a 58" cue from inception to today, but I suppose a quick check would increase the odds if the butt measured 28.75" and the shafts 29.25".

Looks like the bumper has a hole for a screw/allen screw..
Did old DPK or SW ever use that method? I've never seen it on any SW.
