Yes I would say it is definitely leather.

Remarkable

Yes I suppose I am a bit ignorant on this subject. Mass producing cues by hand on lathes without computers in the 70s doesn't seem a whole lot different from a custom cue maker doing the same thing. The only difference is that a custom maker may only create one of something instead of a...

Thanks so much for the video. It's great to see how they were made before computers.

I am making a comparison between the catalog that was posted and my cue and it almost looks like they are not identical. Certainly a corsair but possibly a slight change from year to year. Mine seems like it has an extra layer in the window laminates. It also seems like the squares in the rings...

Thanks for the catalog picture. If they quit making them in 77 or 78 I wonder when they started the corsair? The matching shaft is the perfectly straight one. The mismatched one has a slight warp. I wonder if the original owner got a galaxy replacement after seeing the corsair shaft wasn't...

I don't need to sell the cue at all. I think the craftsmanship is underrated because it came from Japan back when that was a bad thing, just like made in China is now. The cue is remarkable and I am happy to have it and keep it. Thanks for your input.

Thank you, I have studied under a few masters in my life. A potter, a wood worker and a few martial artists. None of them started a shop or studio without being directly involved for at least a decade or more. The cue I have had to have been made in the first five years of the Japan start up...

Thank you, I would have thought a hand made cue from a hall of fame maker would be worth more. Glad I asked.

I was given this cue by a friend who purchased it in the 60s or 70s. I believe it is an Adam Corsair. Used for a few years and stored for 40 years or so. Original wrap, a few minor dings but truly remarkable condition. Any more information would be great. Not sure what it may be worth but I...

Heres and Adam Corsair 1970 or so
