Balabushka Help?!?!

I believe this to be an original balabushka. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. It has two shafts, ivory joint and ferrules.

I'm sure that there must be more pictures on their way ...

From here, the ferrules appear to be old micarta, but I'm waiting for more pics.

Are you sure those ferrules are Ivory. They look like Micarta to me. But with just pictures of the ferrules, no one can help you determine who made a cue.
 
How can anyone argue if thats a bushka, its very obviously one. I can't believe that its even in question.

I'm not 100% sure. Had a buddy look at it and the name balabushka got thrown out. I've looked online and it's similar. If anyone knows what it is please let me know. It's a very well made cue, could use a refinish.
 
Maybe a Weir

It looks like a Robert Weir to me..

I think these guys did you a solid ... The cue looks to be just as they've said.

Looks like a nice playing cue (to me; stiff hitter and micarta ferrules and joint).
 
Ebay may go for 200ish, prolly less, and prolly way less here

out of curiosity who told you it was a Balabushka anyway? I always wonder this
