Looks like an Adam to me, maybe Jayman can help?
I don't see it in my catalogs.
I also checked the Eckes catalog...not there.
.
Everything looks Adam, except for one thing: the buttsleeve and buttcap.
I don't recall an Adam with rings over the buttcap, part of the sleeve, and a buttcap that small in length.
A good mystery.
All the best,

Adam cues with rings over the buttcap and short buttcap.
Yep, I've seen those. Much thinner ring collections above the buttsleeve, the buttcap looks to be longer than the OP's, and the OP's buttsleeve is much longer than those pictures.
I can't say that it's not an Adam, as it may be. But, I can't say that it necessarily is, given the pictures.
All the best,

Possibly one of the early Gandy cues?
Interesting notion.
National/Gandy.
That's one of the reasons I want to see the insert/joint faces.
It does not look like any of the known models, but it is interesting to consider and is not ruled out.

Brass insert.
Looks like aluminum rings and collar.
Not sure....
Adam made cues for other brands like Palmer. Obviously not a Palmer.
That's why I checked my Eckes catalog. Eckes made their own cues but later imported Adam cues, like Palmer. I have their later catalog.
There were others.
In addition Adam themselves distributed under several brand names.
Hopefully Jayman will chime in.

This cue has come up before, Adam said they built it but the inlays were added by someone else.
