Hello ,
I found this replica cue online https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/willie-mosconi-custom-balabushka-19-137876150 or was at some point and did not know these were made. I believe these were out of the Adam Japan Custom line and was a collector model with only 100 cues being produced. These are supposed to be exact replica of Willie's original Bushka cue. The original one sold at $80,000 at auction, I was told that Richard Helmsetter built these cues himself and used the finest materials he could find . It was said he copied the original cue down to a tee and made a exact replica of each of Willie Mosconi 's cues with this being the most famous one. I have never seen one for sale and did not know he made these. It has Willie's face inscribed on the butt . These are call Willie Mosconi WMGB-2 , I think the look beautiful and the Adam Japan cues are really nice in quality and. What else is there about this cue that makes it worth $ 850.00 . Thanks
