Can anyone verify if this is a Adam Rambow R/A-7B?

Yes, Adam made and makes good cues.
That's why I put "cheap knock off" in quotes.
Incidentally I really dig my Adam Rambow.
I am not sure what you meant "no metal used in the joints". It's obviously a full splice forearm. Many very high quality short splice cues use a metal screw in the A joint, including actual Balabushka cues. As you can see from your picture the handle joint is not in the typical A position but is under the wrap. This was a common construction type for Adam. Are you saying there is no metal screw in that joint and the one at the other end of the handle? Forgive me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression they used a metal screw in those joints.
This is an Adam R/A-10 with the same construction:

I say that because it appears to be a wood to wood joint that is pinned. I suppose they could have used aluminum or brass in the joint but they definitely didn't use any steel to weight the cue. I can run a magnet across the whole cue and nothing hits. I can't say that about all my cues. Early mail cues feature the same construction techniques.Yes, Adam made and makes good cues.
