can anyone on here identify a bushka????

Larger pics would help, although the butt sleeve does not look like any I have seen/handled.
Balabushka
From what I can see in the small pics, I would say very very slim to none chance. To truly authenticate it would need to be sent to Tascarella, Black,
or another expert. Even if all the visual signs were there, it may not be the real deal.

If you send it to me I can give you a definitive answer within 48 -96 months.
let's see....
I have limited knowledge; however, from my understanding of Bushkas, this one has no bushka rings...it has a brass joint collar, it doesn't have a delrin or ivory butt cap, it has a wood piloted shaft joint.... these are all things that would make it NOT balabushka.

just to clear up some stuff.....
Not all bushkas have bushka rings
brass is a possibility for the joint
delrin and ivory weren't the only butt styles
and seeing wood on the pilot is a bushka thing.
No, i don't think this has any chance of being a bushka. It's a 70's era brunswick "titlist"
Just to echo what Marcus wrote, I know of Balabushkas that have most of these. No Bushka rings, yes brass joint collar, and definitely a yes on the piloted wood shaft joint. I think I've seen a Balabushka without a Delrin or white butt cap, but I could be getting senile.
That being said, I'd be pretty surprised if this particular cue is a Balabushka. Tascarella and Schick would be my choices for authentication.
