Good Morning All-
I'm definitely a newbie here, and my apologies in advance if this is not the correct thread to post my question in.
I recently acquired a cue firmly believed as to be a Gus Szamboti original. I've tried contacting Barry via email and phone to ask for permission to even send him photos, but have been unsuccessful. I can respect the fact that he may be overwhelmed with work, or have other happenings at the moment. If contact can be established, I'll gladly fly the cue up to him personally for verification. The positive end result will be to ebay the cue.
In the meantime, I wanted to post a few pics of the cue for the forum's input. Feel free to chime in with key notes, as well as areas of concerns. Some of the questions that may come up may be addressed in the following.
-Cue was re-wrapped by Ernie Gutierrez of Ginacue.
-The cue has been in the same showcase for at least the last 20 years, personally seen growing up. As far as age is concerned, it's at least that.
-It originally came with 4 shafts. Two remain while the other two were destroyed by accident.
-Cue and one of the shafts weigh in at 20.6 ounces, with one shaft weighing in at 4.3 ounces, and the other at 3.7.
-The measurement from the joint collar to the tip of the points measures in at exactly 3 inches.
