I'm interested in the above information as well (Hi Ho!).

Nice pics Marcus, hehehe. Marcus is a good guy to deal with any day.

I will have that cue one day....oh yes I will..... :D

Great post Erik. Lots of info. I should also point out as a sort of unprecise dating tool that Omegas are made with 3/8-14 pins of different designs. An early model usually has a straight through flat top pin head. Middle of the line production had beveled shaped pin heads. Late models had...

Scott, You are correct. Some Omegas do have inserts in the shafts. Kinda brownish red phenolic or some material. And yes some Omegas hit really stiff as well. If you have pics of your Omegas and Benders, please email or PM them to me. I'd love to take a look. Thanks! Ricky chef_iron@hotmail.com

Milt, Some Omegas and Benders have silver/nickel ringwork and inlays. Additionally, some Omegas that have passed through my hands have weight bolts installed with an Allen key head.

I'm hoping Erik Lee chimes in with some input. If anyone knows about Omega/dpk's and Bender, it would be Erik.

Bender's & Omega/dpk's share some of the same basic layouts. 5 point short splice construction and 3/8-14 stainless pins. Usually maple forearm's, occassionally ebony forearms and some exotic wood forearms for the Omegas. Bender is currently working with more exotic woods now. Current Bender's...

I like that one too! LOL! :D

Geez, that is one beautiful looking cue. I've always like Skip's work and seeing this cue makes me miss the one I sold even more. Might have to consider adding a Skip back to my collection...maybe this one if I can kick some loot..

After Mike Bender left Omega/dpk to start his own cue business in Alaska, Omegas were no longer made with the flared butt-cap. Mike's brother, Matt Bender took over his place at Omega/dpk. Matt and Kersenbrock were experimenting with new ringwork and inlays before the company abruptly folded...

Couple of more pics...

***THIS IS A REPOST*** Hey Gang, I'm posting a cue up forsale for one of my best friends. Jack is a stand up guy to deal with and I will stand by his reputation with my own. He's already done several deals with some AZ members. It is preferred that you contact him directly to do a deal...

Beautiful looking Southwests Ken. I can't wait for my name to come up. Definitely have to get a fancy Southwest done up and I agree, Purple Heart and Ebony make an awesome wood pairing for cues.

Love the purple heart one! Nice collection of Southwests!

Case Has Been Sold! Thanks To All Who Inquired!

Sorry, not interested in trading. Cash deals only. Thanks

Sold it before I even had a chance to post pics! I do have a nice 1x2 smooth grey Whitten available as well that I'll post up pics this evening. $180 shipped.
