How do you tell if a Schon from early to mid 80's is a Runde era?

Is there a design or style on the cue that tells you whether it is or isn't? The cue is a Schon R5. I'm still waiting for the guy I may be buying it from to send me pics.

Mike is right, but didn’t Evan Clark continue with sharp points after Runde left? A good tell is the shaft. The old ones without name on shaft don’t fit the new ones with schon imprinted on the shaft, even though the threading is about the same.

82-85 sharp points stitch rings, nickel rings available by special order
85-87 sharp points nickel rings, stitch rings available by special order
87-92 CNC points nickel rings
Runde leaves
93 had weird pin and logo on shaft joint ring

One of the main things I’ve noticed with the old cues is that they are not cored. One of the reasons they hit better, IMHO.
