The cue I posted has no branding. It has a raminwood flat face shaft, and it looks like a synthetic wrap. The ad says it was set up for an extension, so the bumper was changed. It was listed as an 18 pin, but is a 14 pin.
Why is the cue so odd to me? Mainly the shaft. There are rumors the branded ones like below were made by Falcon, and that they were made in Canada. I think that drove the price up. Falcon did start in Canada, but these cues were made by KPS in Taiwan.
The cue in question has a great finish. One could say the brand came off in the refinish. But who would put so much into a cue, like a refinish and setup for an extension, yet have a raminwood shaft?
There is more to the story...
The design matches this:
