Show the pictures and we'll tell you whether it can be repaired or not. Most likely, it can be. Scott @ Proficient is very good at restoration and repair work. He just did a Palmer Wico Point repair earlier this month that another member posted pictures for. The final result looked very good and impressive!
I seen some of the cue's inperson that Scot has done after alot of damage. He does a heck of a job putting these cue's back together after some said it would never happen. You just have to see what he says for one, and he will let you know for sure. I seen the one the guy sent him that he ran over with his car by accident, and I never thought it would have came out like it did after he was done. It was in peices, I think it may be the one the above is mentioning !! Give him I call <<<ED
I sssume it's a standard butt as shown here:

It sounds like you need a new butt built, which I don't think Scot at Proficient will do.
The most economic way would be to locate the inlay shapes you need. The inlays are known as fleur-di-lis mother of pearl. The shape may not be available. I believe Paul Rubino still has the original inlay shapes. You might want to call him. Here's his web site:

He can probably build a new butt for you with the materials he stocks. I've written him recently to see what he has in stock, but have not had a response yet.
You might want to post this on the ask the cuemaker section and see who can make a new one for you using CNC.

That realy sounds like me :grin:
But you are completely right, i think that realy close to anything can be repaired from the right guy.
But to spend more in repair then the cue is worth and more then already paid for it - that´s true love

Chris, every time I see that Model 16 I am stunned about how great it came out, Proficient did a great job! :smile:
looks like you smacked it or dropped it on the floor. good news is it's just from the butt sleeve back. It is very repairable.
beautiful cue
good luck

Ditto on what blackwidows has said, definitely able to repair that! Post pictures of the results when its all done!
Take a look at Proficients website ( http://www.proficientbilliards.com/index.html )
there is a Palmer 11 in for major repair ( got driven over by a car ? )
looks a lot worse than yours.
GL with the fix, I just sent my UL in for a repair.

I recommend different cuemakers for different things.
Scot Sherbine does most of my finish and repair work - and of course he does a great job, however, in this case I would definitely recommend Michael Webb because of his access to the materials and the decal.
In this case, Michael can provide the right color pearl butt, repair the missing inlays, and can even provide the correct Palmer decal. Basically, he can both repair and restore this cue.
Email Michael at webbcues@cox.net or PM me for his phone number.
