This cue has a history, not a good one, not due to the maker, but due to past owners. At some point this cue was drilled out from the backend. A hole in which Mr. Szamboti had to plug. Point is, it is not original. If you see the cue, and its for sale, turn around and swallow broken glass instead.
There is now a second letter with it, from Barry, outlining the cues history. The first one was mysteriously lost during a point where it went from Ken C. who has direct ties to Barry, which is where the first letter and 2 new shafts were made, to Don Sherman to Bill Grassley. My friend bought this cue from Grassley as "All original" It has been a nightmare for him.
