Ah, the mysterious second Mosconi Bushka. Pictures of it are even more rare than his well-used Bushka. The only one I know of is in Pool and Billiard, March, 2011, shown below. The particular article was "The Cues of Willie Mosconi," by Charles Ursitti. There is a page of text with the article. If anyone wants to see it, just let me know and I'll post it.
Two observations: One, the Adam replica is not bad. Tim (Skins) has noted some of the differences. The most obvious differences that I'll add to are the nickel rings in the joint collar were more centered than the originals, and the points usually don't come close enough together at the base. Also, it's usually obvious that it's not older Cortland linen. The veneers are usually too thin and vibrant. But I agree, it's not a bad replica.
The real deal is at the bottom right. I can tell by the joint collars. For the sharp-eyed, can you find the mistake in the page? Yep, at the top right, the text reads, "The second Rambo used by Willie Mosconi..." Forgiving the spelling of "Rambow," the picture above it is not a Rambow at all, but Mosconi's well-used Bushka, the same as the picture below it. Oh well, the editors always miss things that I catch.
Anyhow, enjoy the picture. Let me know if you want me to post the page of text for the article. It's written by Charles Ursitti.
At your service,
