Do you know this Snooker cue stick?

[robitabu]

Hallo everybody, I'm a new to Snooker and new to this forum too, I hope it'll be ok with both

Anyway, I've found a used Snooker cue (which is rare in my country, which is Sicily in Italy, because noone - really noone! plays Snooker here) but I really can't figure out if it's of any value at all.

I guess it's not some precious high rated cue anyway, but since there's no brand name printed on it, I can't even figure out who did build it at all :-(

Can you help me recognizing it?

Do you have any idea what that 4-balls figure logo on the butt cap represents?

I asked the seller to send me more and more detailed pictures of the cue, he doesn't really know much more than that himself :-(

Cheers,
Roberto

New pictures

I received a few more pictures, they have far better resolution, so it may help.

I think I've found something, there's a page on the web. I cannot post links at the momento, I'm new user of the forum, not llowed to :-(
Anyway, the page is about a "Birmingham" Snooker Cue. Does it ring any bell to the experts?

Don't know what the four ball logo stands for, but they make four types of tables:
Russian Pyramid
American Pool
English 8-Ball
Snooker

Sorry not sure of the maker but that shaft has too much short grain for my liking.

I guess that website was referring to a model "Birmingham" and not to a brand name. I found other similar cues on the very same catalogue, each with minor exterior differences, but all named like UK Cities.

Thnaks for trying.

That makes me asking: what/why?
Sorry, as I said, I'm new to Snooker. I really don't know why you think "too much short grain" is bad. Could you please elaborate? Thx
