Are these 2 cues the same?

OK. I think the link is fixed now. Go up to my first post. Click on the chalkers link first and check out the Richard Black Buska style cue and then go to conerstone and click on richard black and go to the buska style cue. One is made in 1999 and the other in 2004. They look the same to me. Also, if you have time go to the Richard Black website and he has another cue of the same style. Are they the same b/c of the buska design??????????

Not the same cue. They are all what's called Richard's "Bushka model" cue, one of his signature line cues. They are propably the most popular of his line cues, too, or at least that's what he conveyed to me several years ago. Wouldn't surprise me if he has made upwards of a few hundred of this style over the years. You often see them with different veneer colors and wraps (leather/linen)....or even slightly different ring and inlay configurations.
 
...and the dots surrounding the notched diamonds in the butt sleeve are spaced differently....
