Thanks

Thanks guys

I did some research prior to my post and the signature I saw from him was looking quite different but it make sense. May be a different period...

Adam/Helmstetter made dozens of different models, over 50+ years. The cue you are looking at has value, but it's a production cue, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Thank you for the advice, the guy is asking 350$ (with 2 shaft), I like the classic look...

I would consider that top of the band...unless it's near perfect or come with an high end after-market shaft(s).
