Bought this in the pool room. Is it an SL? Is it an R series? I know that Runde started doing rounded points toward the end of his Schon tenure. I’ve owned several Rundes and Clarkes and this cue feels like a Runde. I know that sounds silly, but based on my experience that is what I think. The shafts are nice with no logos. Ferrules are not ivory or micarta. Just curious what the experts think. Thanks!

The R series didn't have nickle silver rings at the wrap.

If you have sharp points and dash rings its probly a Runde.

If it's Clark and it plays good? You got lucky, its the rarest Clark cue. Both Clark Schön I owned had a mushy hit, butt heavy and played horrible. Hahaha

I'm not an expert, but I can't bounce a cueball off the table around here without accidentally hitting a Schön...

Roughly 82-87 are sharp points, there have been some CNC pointed cues in that time frame.
stitch rings were standard until 87, nickel rings were an upcharge
87-93 CNC points were standard as were nickel rings, stitch rings were a custom order

Runde era pins have a different pitch on the pin. IIRC old shafts fit on new pins, though new shafts don't fit old pins.

93 had the "acme" pin and the first year to have the Schon logo on the shaft collar.
94 and on had script Schon perpendicular to the joint ring

That’s crazy because I can’t even remember the last time I’ve seen one. I loved their cues’ back in the day.
