This is an Andy Gilbert Hoppe conversion. The fellow I bought it from said it was macassar ebony but I believe this is actually a dark rosewood. The wood, and the colors, are stunning. Has an ivory Hoppe ring banded with silver, ivory and silver stitch rings, an ivory joint, and an ivory tip (a la Schick) on the pin. The wrap is a Canadian version of Penn/Cortland wraps and has an interesting pattern to it (see photos). The cue is in beautiful condition and plays as good as it looks. Comes with two original shafts (standard length) with ivory ferrules, and one Predator 314-2 (1" longer than standard) with matching rings. $1375 shipped in US.

Weight? Pin is a 5/16x14?
Correction: 19.5 oz., with the Predator shaft, and 19.8 with the ivory-ferruled shafts. And, yes, it's a 5/16x14, unlike most of Andy's cues.

Points look great. I'll post some more pics tomorrow.
Sweet cue!
True conversion.
Really? Looks like a tribute. No?
One of the points is indeed a bit high, and the veneers are indeed nice and bright.
