Evan Clarke -vs- Bob Runde ...And Schon Cues
- Thread starter The King
- Start date
Short splice. Diamond inlays could be ivory. Not the buttcap.
Only if it was a LTD, SP,OM(made for Omega billiards),MZ, Unique etc. Go on FB? There is a Schon forum on there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/185409831508442/

It did change over the years. Don't know any dates. SL's were mid-90's. That's about close as you're gonna get. Schon didn't keep detailed records like that.
'92 and earlier the shafts were unmarked.
'93 shafts were marked on the collar with SCHON and the tip diameter in mm.
'94 and later shafts were marked Schon in script above the collar, parallel to the shaft.
The marking on the butt cap changed several times, the size, the style of the S, umlaut over the O or not, gold lettering or black.
Also, different pins were used that may help.
I have one of those cues with an unusual pin. My butt will not accept most Schon shafts other than those made with my cue. Evan didn't mention anything unusual about my butt when I spoke with him at SBE a few years ago. Dave Jacoby seemed to remember Schon used a few "custom" pins during the period after Runde and Clarke parted ways. Can not be absolutely sure of this. Had Brandon Jacoby do some work for me as I could not get Schon to answer the phone or answer an e-mail.

First,I am not trying to spread any misinformation, I'm
only repeating what I was told about 2 of my Schons.
The one on top I was told is an R-1 ordered with nickel rings instead of stitch rings ,that's why the script is
different. The one on the bottom with
the different looking pin was only used for 1 year and
that was 91 or 92 I was told. The shafts between my Schon are not all interchangeable but I can't remember which ones and which way, I have more than 2 Schons.
