Help identify (yet another) Schon Cue

[ViolatorDM]

Hello guys,

As the title says, I need your help in identifying this beautiful Schon Cue:

I've searched a lot and couldn't find the Cue anywhere... The only Cue that looks like it seems to be the SL7 and the SP42 (but not that much with this one I think)...

Has anyone seen this Cue before? I've also contacted Schon and sent them the photos but they haven't replied to me yet. When I called them to ask them as to whether or not they've received my e-mail, the reply was "we're a small Company" and "we've got a lot of things to do" and so on, so I thought to also ask in here

I forgot to mention that the Cue does not seem to be cored (judging from the pin and the wood surrounding it inside the hole where the pin is located). Also the wrap does not "feel" like Irish Linen; it really feels like Cortland Linen or something very similar... Which is weird...

My old cue...
an R 7
I sold it on ebay a couple years ago,
just sold recently again on ebay,
if that's the same cue"

Hey Duane,

Are you sure? it doesn't look like an R7 to me... The R7 has sharp points and a stitch ring according to the description from the "Blue Book of Pool Cues":
Stained bird´s-eye maple forearm with ivory dashes at bottom, six ebony points, ebony butt sleeve with ivory dashes at top and bottom

Whereas, the SL7 looks like the following:
Stained bird´s-eye maple forearm, four ebony points with ivory diamond-shaped inlay in each point, ebony butt sleeve with four large and four small ivory diamond-shaped inlays

But the Cue I've got pictured, does not have Ebony at all and everything is Stained bird's-eye maple, plus, it's got "bushka" style rings but the fancy ones that have both the Double-Ivory and the Nickel Ring in the middle.

Don't know which model it is, but I would love to see it in person.
If you find the time come by Barrage club next Monday, handicap hours.

SL7 made between 1990-1992 maybe very late 1989 but I doubt it

Reverse R-12 w/CNC points

This is my uneducated guess based on the one I have that is all red and black from the late 80's.

Mystery solved then! It definitely seems to be a variant of the SL7.

Thanks a lot you guys for your help and comments!
