I was in London a wk ago at Riley's- Just missed Allie taking lessons. A word to the wise. I looked at John Paris, and I see the Trevor cue. I bought the same style 3/4 cue. They all have an Ebonized 3/4 shaft- mine has a buffalo Label. Made for Riley's. Even the Paris front is identical.( On 300,400,and 700 ) leaves me to believe all fronts now (Made in China) (even the Trevor White. Trevor White butt is fancier. mine was like 90.american - Had a great time in London,and Hastings- I was the guy driving in the New XC 70 Volvo Wagon(Rental). The roundabouts were fun , the Camera's not. Hastings was sunny. Dam small roads. I could retire in Hastings along the coast. We found the Family grave sites,and Churches from the Past. One was readable from the 1700's. Charlotte Shorter. John Shorter was the relative we were looking for? His records of tenants) , Including a Haunted Church Grave Yard. We met Chris Shorter. thanks for keeping the history alive in England- here in the USA,it would have been plowed under 1000's of yrs ago. Went to Paris next I loved the 6-12 tables at Riley's !!!!! mark
