Not sure what the creation date is on this beauty because it was signed with no date. It is a beautiful Cocobolo and Maple Richard Black Hoppe cue with ivory Hoppe ring and flame veneers. Specs are as follows:
Butt=15.1oz
5/16x14 stainless steel joint
Original shaft 1=4.0oz and is 12.38mm.
Original shaft 2=3.8oz and is 12.5mm
Shaft 3 is a Predator blank with matching ringwork which Richard made to match the cue perfectly. It was my playing shaft so it shows a little wear but nothing major and weighs 3.8oz and is 12.73mm with a fairly new Morri Medium tip.
The 2 original shafts are straight, in excellent condition and have unknown layered tips on them.
The cue was refinished by Richard and had the leather wrap installed at that time. The cue is in amazing condition and shows little wear. I would rate it at about 95 percent overall. The cue is one of the best I have ever felt and hit as well. I am currently playing with another one of Richard's cues.
This cue WILL be sold one way or another. I will sell to the highest offer over $1000 (which is a steal as this would be 1800-2000 new) between now and Christmas Day and then it will go to Ebay with NO RESERVE.
Please pm me any other questions or offers. Thank you, Mark
