This cue was purchased by a Freind that doesn't really play pool. He thought he was told that it was a Scruggs when he bought it, I took pics of it and I don't see any markings at all. Also, it appears to have a phenolic ferrule, and also the joint didn't really look like ivory to me. It's a very yellowish material...The points are not even, I have a hard time believing it's a Scruggs but I'd like to gather input from the az land. He has it in an it's George case, so I know he wasn't afraid to spend a little jack when he bought the cue, so who knows.
