I have a feeling it was refinished.

Merry Widow and I will when I get it home.

It is a 5/16x18 pin. Less than a Lucasi.

I was on my way to visit my folks on my motorcycle so I put it on layaway. I think the weight bolt is an allen with the threading going through the hole. I feel like I recall this cue being sold locally within the last year stating it was a refinished JW.

I foolishly did not take a pic of the entire cue. Appears to be goncalo alves or tulipwood, to me. 5/18x 18 pin.

If the ferrule on the OP’s cue is original, then I believe the cue is an Ajay from the 70’s. Taiwanese made.

Falcon used camel bone as they did not want to deal with importing ivory into the states.

I know this is older, but Superior shafts that have the superior stamp on them, they came out of Billiards N Bagels in Gresham/Portland area. Jim Oswald would send the blanks to various cue makers and Jim had a metal stamp to stamp the shafts when they came back. I have no idea what other...

I can’t help you, but I picked up a model 5 a few years ago and they are my favorite Adam made cues. Something about that big pin and the wood they use or the way they dry it.

Micarta. I just realized my phone auto corrected it.

For those of you that have a Runde cue with a micarta joint, can you measure it for me? I’m assuming it is .845 or .85.

Shaft is not from the blank, 1.5” ivory ferrule.
