Looking for a photo of Ray “Cool Cat” Martin’s 1976 Szamboti

[14.1fan]

Looking for a photo of Ray “Cool Cat” Martin’s 1976 Szamboti. It has old style Willie Hoppe points. It also has black ebony & white hearts near the white butt cap. It was used from 1976 till sold to Fat Boy (date uncertain). He used it to win the NYC 1978 World Tournament & the Sands King of the Hill in Atlantic City in 1981.
Any pictures or leads greatly appreciated!

I think you can find pictures in Martin's book "The 99 Critical Shots in Pool."

While there are pictures in that book of a cue that could be the one described in the OP, the images are very small so the butt is only about 1/8th inch across and the design is not really visible.

The OP could try to contact Fatboy. He hasn't been on here in over a year but is occasionally on pool stream chats.

Last I heard from him he was living in Dubai.

Nice clean looking cue. Just what you’d expect Ray to play with. He is an all business guy, especially on the table!
