My only guess was Jensen
My guess is a Nova.
Well they're just pics but what I'm inclined to say is...Where the hell are you finding all these Bushka's!?
Here's a thread that may shed some light on the unusual blank and cone tip pin..

One of my first thoughts too, but that's why I asked for a better shot of the bumper. Richard used a considerably smaller diameter, and more rounded brown bumper than most of the rest, which would be a giveaway. Well, it's fun, isn't it.
All the best,

How unique!
Too Good!!
Tuff Room! Some real close guesses and a few hit the nail on the head.
You are looking at a 1967 Balabushka in birds eye maple with a smooth black leather wrap, Spain 5 veneer blank, and in untouched original condition.
This cue was built for George Jr. and has full documentation. The cue is on it's third owner at present.

Most definitely a Bushka, I had the pleasure of hitting a couple balls with it. Sweet as can be.
X ray it
Look for a furniture bolt.
Is the back screw slotted or hex?
Joint size?
How long is it?
Something about it is off at first glance to be Georges.
In personally tells all though. The ferrules installation seem sub par.
Pictures do lie some times.
Great find.
Happy Holidays,

unless they specifically know what it looks like this means nothing and is more commonly referred to as a dowel screw today
The ferrules installation seem sub par.
which picture shows this and how?
It is better to not spread misinformation.

It's sarcasm.......
What I say is fact.
You may not know it. The Cues are easy to fake. Fakes every one out too. Can't fake the old construction and materials. The screws for example. All of them. The construction. Glad you have a perception of the word misinformation.
Georges Cues? Unlikely,
. Been around them since I was 5 maybe? Owned one at 14. Things like his scales were off an ounce are not well known also. I have only had one Cue almost fake me out. I sent it to Bill Schick. He agreed someone had cut a shaft down to make a cue pass as one of Georges built for a lady. We both just couldn't get over it. The ferules installation was balls on.
No faking that.
Can't copy that. It is an art to do what he did.
Needles to say after about a year Bill sent back the cue stating what I had thought and how we were both puzzled. Who dose that. Destroy a Balabushka shaft. Wow.
FYI Bill said give me a week with it. Heck of a guy. Considerate. Taking only almost a year to send my stick back.
My friend wanted that cue back and I told him it wasn't what he was told and he could have it when Bill Schick sent it back. I just had to prove it wasn't Geoegre's.
After months and months I walked in the poolroom with it still in the box Bill shipped it in. He said anyone but you I would have shot. That's it isn't it. I said, Yup still in Bill's tube. He said he was getting pissed. But knew I was telling the truth.
