Its not often you find a Schon without a stainless joint.
Definitely looks similar but looks like wrong joint, wrong butt cap and wrong bumper. Can't tell the date on the cue but points are sharp so it would have to be old or custom. No name on butt??
No name on or under. Thinking it might be an import knockoff
It looks a bit like this Efren signed cue that I won at Amsterdam in NYC right before Covid. Efren was playing Mika in an exhibition.
Won the cue and while I was outside Tony Robles put my name in to play Efren, so I used it and I'm 1-0 lol.
I was told the cue was from a Filipino maker.

Yes the bumper is different, the wrap being leather, I have a Schon with a leather wrap, The joint, while rare, I have seen many especially when I lived in Racine. The only thing that actually concerns me is the butt cap. I had an early Schon, one of the earliest. It was an 82 possibly earlier one of a kind. I went there, looked at a bunch of cues laying on a pool table, picked bits and pieces from ea and they made it. Not sure when the sharp points ended, but mine were perfect, it was an incredible cue.
Anyway the only thing that concerns me is the bumper. The butt cap could have been replaced as many crack them and if you don't have Schon do it, very few I would assume can replicate the logo. The rings are dead ringers for Schons and I have never seen them elsewhere. Who knows, you asked for opinions and these are mine. Put it on the Schon facebook site, I'm sure someone there will know.
AI Overview
Yes, Efren Reyes used a Schon cue during the earlier part of his career, with reports indicating he was using one around 1984 in Angeles City. While he is famous for using a $10 homemade cue in 1985 and later using JFlowers or custom cues, he did play with Schon equipment during his rise to international fame.
