Any idea of the age of my Black Boar?

I just bought this cue from a fellow I've played with for years. I first saw it around 1992 or so. I would like to get an idea of when it was produced. The points and butt are ebony, the diamond inlays are ivory (I assume the points are outlined in ivory as well, but they're too small to see the grain in). It has two 12.5mm shafts with ivory ferrules, one of which had a tiny but visible crack in it. I just got that replaced today by Danny Tibbitts. Any interesting info you could pass along?

Please forgive the rotten photos; my camera and skills aren't so hot.

That cue is from the time when Black Boar had a "production" brochure. But it is far from production. I would say late 80's early 90's. Story is they couldn't keep up with production so they became a custom shop.

Thats all I know...

Yep, Joe

Just looked - that cue, and mine, are in a BB ad in a Feb '89 issue of "Pool and Billiards".
