The gift that keeps on giving . . . As though he had not already sufficiently contributed, at the end of his site, Huybrecht provides the following links: Billiard Collection Filip Steurs (B) Billard-collection Stéphane (F) Carombilliards.eu Piet Steenis (NL) Collection queues Pascal Helfer (F)

These cues leave me awestruck. Is Guy Huybrecht still around? Anyone know the fate of his collection? I can't help but be amazed at how popular pool apparently was on the Continent. Is there a museum in Europe displaying cues such as these? I know we have a few members from Europe, but do...

I had seen this years ago. Just ran into it again. Thought some here would appreciate it: https://www.billard-billiards.net

My grandfather built 12 to 70 foot wooden boats -- from skiffs to schooners, even glass bottomed boats for Wakulla Springs. He had an electric band saw and an electric planer. Everything else was hand driven. And, trust me, he held firm beliefs as to when and how each was to be correctly employed.

I use both hands to bridge/stroke. It feels natural after 40+ years. I only use a bridge to cue over a ball that is too close to the CB.

If so or no, by '04 or '05 the forgeries had gotten so bad that Mr. Scruggs had to design and implement a new trademark. See photo above.

Immensely frustrating. Sometimes it's like "don't blink" and others it is worse than turning a super tanker. Never know what it's gonna be.

I sure hope so. I bought it from Mr. Scruggs himself in '04 or '05. It is, or more accurately was, my "daily player" for many years. Edit: Somewhere/somehow I learned that mine was an example of a "new" trademark that Mr. Scruggs created in order to frustrate the forgers from China. It is...

Another 2004 or 2005

There are others. I do not know how many. This is where you have to educate yourself by studying 1,000,000,000,000 cues where ever you can. No easy way to do it. Thank God for the Web. Search real sites.

Sorry this happened to you. Most everyone has been burned at least once. Most learn. Here, the price told you everything you needed to seek confirmation. Way too cheap. And this happens not just with cues. Be cautious in all transactions. If you have this occur on anything, tell the seller...

Since we are at this point, will you answer the following for us? Who sold you the cue? Did he id it as a Scruggs? Have you discussed this cue's authenticity? Who? When? What steps did you take prior and subsequent to your purchase? Have you contacted the seller since the purchase? How do...

Not a matter of "like" or not. Wild Wood makes a cogent analysis. It just does not look right to me but I am no expert. TS is not a rare forgery. Without the bill of sale, I would get a written opinion from a recognized expert.

I am reluctant to ask but curiosity compels me. What are we to conclude? Not a Scruggs? Trademark Variation? Uncertain?

Thanks!

Mo' Bettah! The hamsters got fed? Opps. Spoke too soon. Hamsters find the stash?

What does C3PO have to say? He tells me he runs the place.;)
