Just picked this cue up and I am trying to find some info on it. The person I acquired it from claims it's a Balabushka. Will have better pictures up soon. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Balabushka?

Adams Balabushka GB-10 http://www.discountpoolcues.com/balabushka.htm
It's identical except for no signature, and its older than 2003. The finish, wrap (Cortland Irish Linen) and butt cap are similar to my 70's Joss West. The Older man I purchased it from claimed he bought it from his best friend in 78' who claimed to have bought it new in 72'. I am looking for some contact info to get it authenticated.
This cue looks just like a GB 3, except no signature.
Contact Pete Tascarella for authenticity on Bushka's.

From the pictures:
Butt cap material looks incorrect
Diamonds look incorrect
Black ring above wrap, incorrect
Wrap is not Cortland
Take a photo of the butt cap without the bumper
Take a photo of the screw and joint
