The cue is on Billiard's Bill site.

I know because he is selling the cue for me.

I don't know who the initial's are, nor do I (or did) care. I was only selling the cue to make up for the money spent on my daughters wedding.

Wow Tony, that is one sharp cue. The wood is amazing.

Dumping an old widow to for a new bride.

You're a good Pops. Good luck with the sale.

When I was collecting cues, a initials stamp on the buttcap didn't bother me at all. Sometimes it adds to the history and story. The only real concern is if the original owner filed a police report that the cue was stolen. A replacement buttcap with sleeve refinish is around $75 if it bothers you.

I bet S.D.W. never thought he was going to sell the Scruggs:)

I agree, an initial wouldn't bother me, especially if it was put on by the original cue maker. You could even make up a fib, "I beat SDW so bad in a game, he had to give me his most prized possession because he was out of cash"

It’s a Scruggs. There’s a finite supply. Buy it and play with it before I do.

I bought a Black Boar that had a large A engraved nicely on the butt... an old four pointer but one of the nicer ones. It didn't bother me at all. Probably because my last name just happens to start with A. LOL.

I've owned a few cues with initials engraved on somewhere. It's never been a problem for most that I have seen.
