Is this Really a Balabushka?

Looks like an authentic cue. But probably rewrapped & refinished.

Hijacked Account?

If you look at the guy's feedback he's never sold anything pool related before. Small ticket items like shoes and now this big sale. This is a sign of a possible hijacked account. I would be wary!

A couple of people said the same thing about me when I listed the Gus I sold on eBay for 55K.

Yes, he did make some of these window cues and they had this look. According to the Billiards Encyclopedia he made them in response to customer requests due to the popularity of the Palmer Model 6 from their First catalog, which was likely the first window cue with a large window and was very popular in the 1960's. Unlike Palmer, I have not seen a name personalization on a Balabushka cue.

It looks like a nice cue - I would imagine he will get $7000 for it even though his pictures are terrible.

Darn I love that window. Who was the first to do that? Paradise?

Thanks
