Here are some of the Szambotis that are no longer on U.S. soil. I am going to start a foundation to re-patriate these cues.

Notice that a couple of the 8-pointers have veneers, which looks awesome!

Adopt a Szamboti from overseas! Bring the cues back home!!

Enjoy the photos and try not to cry!

Thanks for the help! Love the translated descriptions!

My favorite cue is the veneered 8-pointer with the barbells, but I would take ANY one of those cues and be happy forever.

I also love the Z rings.

There is about $1,000,000.00 in cues on that page. If I hit the Powerball, I will travel to Japan right away.....

Most awesome, you thank. Still sentence syntax structure more positive to compared to us more, least understand.

(Translation: Cool, thanks! The syntax reminds me of some of the posts we read here.)

Yea, they're nice. But IMO even Ernie's pre-CNC work was as good or better.

Szamboti cues

I wish I could read Japanese to find out what they say about the cues and whoever owns those cues is sitting on one of the nicest collections of fancy Szamboti's i've seen. I've heard the Lucky has the largest collection of Szamboti's, but I don't know if that's true or not.

That 8-pointer with the veneers was in Barry's shop when I went to see him. I actually held that baby in my hands!! The pics do not do it any justice!

Can I shake your hands?? You have too much Szamboti on them... Can you get Barry to make me a duplicate of that cue?

Actually, I tried talking him into making one for me with a red/black/red/white veneer pattern over ebony points. We kicked around a couple of ideas for inlays, but I doubt that cue will ever come to fruition. Barry said it was a lot of work for his Dad to do those cues.

Only one

There is only one Gus Szamboti cue and it has only 4 points. Unless you scroll all the way down, LOL. Awesome stuff.

you figure out how to get them here and i'm in action for some/all it has to be a deal where I will pay a flat commission to who brokers the deal-I'll buy the cues from them direectly and give a %age commission to, it s a good payday for someone who can make it happen,
