Can someone help identify this Schon

Need to see the points on the butt--if they are sharp the cue is worth more dough

Does this help
A pic of the forearm showing the points will help, but it does look like an old one
Sharp points vs rounded CNC points is an indication of the age, but I haven't seen this model before
Definitely not one of the first made. Might of been made in the 1990's though.
The value is only what someone is willing to pay. The market for selling is not great right now.
I'm guessing maybe an SLE model? They were an early line of limited edition cues, 12 copies per model...like the LTD, but not. It could be a custom, too. I'd send an email to Evan Clarke to be absolutely sure. Definitely early 90s-ish, maybe (very) late 80s. If no one else has a better idea, I'd probably start around $600 with the one shaft and see where it goes. I've seen a lot of Schons over the years, never that one. There are other Schon-philes on here that know a lot more than me about them, hopefully they'll chime in here...
Based on the shaft if it is original to the cue I would say this cue was originally purchased in 93 that is the only year to the best of my knowledge that Evan put the Schon name on the collar. If you email pics to info@schoncues.com they will get back to you, may be a few days but they will be able to tell you more details. If the pin is snub nosed probably 93, the butt may have been built by Bob Runde and finished by Evan or built completely by Evan. As far as value I would say in the current market the shaft by itself is worth $135 or so and the cue with the shaft about $500 min and up to $700 if the inlays are ivory. Shooter
i agree the shaft is a 1993 shaft.. take a picture of the joint screw.. that would confirm it.. not as close as the points though and try to get it in focus
