I listed this cue earlier for $800 and reduced it to $750, but received no reasonable offers. So I am posting it again for $700 (shipping, insurance, and PayPal fees included). I know this is a very fair price for the cue and hope to move it by tomorrow. Thanks for looking!

I am selling another of Rob West's cues; the Pechauer cue I sold for him can be seen here: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=81833
Rob bought this Jacoby cue directly from Dave Jacoby at the 2007 Derby City Classic. He paid $950 for the cue at that time. Rob takes exceptionally good care of his cues and I would rate this one at better than 95%. I couldn't feel or see any nicks or dings and the cue is dead straight.
The butt weight is 15.1 ounces (with a weight bolt that I measured to be .56 ounces). Shaft 1, with a Kamui soft tip, is 12.97 mm just below the ferrule and weights 3.78 ounces. Shaft 2, with what I believe is a Moori medium tip, is 13.08 mm just below the ferrule and weights 3.91 ounces. So total cue weight is 18.88 or 19.01 depending on the shaft used. Both shafts are glass smooth.
The cue as a textured black leather wrap that is quite nicely done by Mr. Jacoby. Joint protectors for butt and both shafts included.
The main wood in forearm and butt sleeve looks to me to be cocobolo. There are five floating points (looks like maple) with two veneers and what looks to be an ebony diamond in each point. There are five "windows" in the butt sleeve that match the points in terms of veneers and inserted diamond. Nice ring work at A, B, C, D, and E. The joint is flat-faced with what looks like a radial pin, but it appears to me that it might be a 3/8 by 8 radial-type pin.
