Can anybody confirm if OMEGA/ DPK cues have any Markings, insignia's or LOGO's on the cue ?
I'm lead to believe OMEGA's doesn't.
I'm reluctant to buy any cue with NO Markings on it.
If anybody knows, please let me know.

A healthy percentage have a flared butt cap. Some are marked on the top of the pin. The ring work is often a dead give-away. Reddish-brown insert in the shaft.

Things can get murky when it comes to the cues that were made from old blanks but finished in the recent past.

Post pictures.

Omega/ dpk

Thanks for your reply.
This OMEGA cue is listed on EBAY right now.
There is NO marking on the pin...
There is NO photo of shaft insert...
I'm not familiar with OMEGA/ DPK's ring work.

Sometimes a talented cue maker can make "copy cat" cue and pass it off as High End Cue... In this case, I just don't have enough info . I'm not sure...

It is an Omega DPK refinished by Esoteric. Rick had a batch of 8 blanks from the Omega shop that he put the pins and made shafts for. The other blanks he sold to other cuemakers. If you search on AZ, you can find the links

Thanks for the info.
I tried contacting Rick at Esoteric on several occasions but of NO AVAIL.

But WITHOUT the flared butt plate, NO engraving in Pin, I just couldn't pull the trigger. I'm always a little suspect with things you can NOT authenticate or verification

I thank everybody for the response and HELPED me on this issue.

Best Regards
