I live about 20 miles from her. I spoke with her several times to try to hook up to take a look at the cue in person, but we couldn't seem to get together. I just quit trying to press her, and figured if she wanted to sell it or identify it bad enough she would call me. This cue looks ALOT like an old Viking cue (shown in the blue book, but can't recall the model). I think she wants to really try to find someone who will tell her she has a Balabushka or Szamboti, but it won't happen. I think she was probably conned and is now stuck really heavy in the cue, and doesn't want to admit that she really got screwed.
I doubt that she has any email trail from any of the guys she mentioned. I put together a post when she listed it for $50,000, and got basically the same response you are seeing in this thread.
