Cue just looks off on many levels but did they really stamp 26 1/2 on the wedge?

Brunswick did not stamp any model number on a cue. Maybe the 26 1/2 is meant to show the length of the handle? (He says it measured 26.5").

In any case, it's not a 26 1/2 because the points are not veneered. Pretty sure it's not a Brunswick. This looks like a European cue to me. Also, a Brunswick of that era would have had the joint screw in the shaft.

Chris...That was the first thing I noticed! It's an older cue...but it's no Brunswick 26 1/2, and you know a lot more about these cues than me. :thumbup:

It looks to me like the stamp says 20 1/2, which is the weight, not 26 1/2.

So, exactly where does the seller say, or even imply that it is a 26 1/2, or that it is
a Brunswick?

Looks that way to me, too.

Please don't confuse me with facts , as I have already made up my mind.
