Plain jane birdseye maple, linen wrap. Comes with one long Kikel shaft and one Joss shaft. One of the shafts has an vory ferrule. Butt plate is ivory but had cracks in it so it was cut towards the JW logo to prevent it from chunking out. The cue has numerous dings in it from hitting the Gold Crown top rail edges, tho the finish is still intact. The linen is still in good shape. The cue comes with a 1979 Joss West sales brochure, and a autographed template from Bill Stroud describing the cue: Here is what it says
