Butt weight 14.92 oz 29 1/4" length, 1.261" diameter at lowest trim ring, .825" diameter at joint (staghorn or similar butt cap) Long 3/8x10 joint pin
Shaft 1 - 3.32 oz, 28 7/8" length, 12.4mm tip (staghorn or similar horn ferrule)
Shaft 2 - 3.29 oz, 29" length, 12.5mm, appears to be melamine ferrule.
Total weight 18.21 oz to 18.24 oz.
Abear logo is faintly visible between points. <--- UPDATE: this sentence might be pushing reality a bit. After taking a magnifying glass to the cue, as well as trying to photograph the logo, it seems I can't make out what is there at all. I can only tell there is SOMETHING there where the sig should be. Andy Gilbert recalls the refinish work for "Brian" (the former owner) and both Brian and Dave Ward (of B&D Cues) assured me the cue is indeed an Abear. I totally believe them as neither Andy nor Dave has ever been anything but truthful with me. Had I not believed them, I would not have accepted the cue. Brian and Dave both told me they had contacted Steve Hebert about re-signing the cue but I believe he offered to provide them a COA instead. They declined the COA as they didn't think the cue would leave Brian's hands.
Just trying to be complete about the details on this cue. Sorry if they are tedious.
And an UPDATE to my update: Received the following response in reply to my inquiry from Mr. Hebert this morning

Hi
Its hard to resign a cue when i never received it for resign
It is my cue but do not recall the exact date
It is common that people call for info but never hear back from them
If i had been sent the cue i for refinish this problem would have never came up
Thanks

I will forward the full and exact email to any potential buyer if desired.
Cue is solid and has a few light dings from play but is in overall very good shape.
Asking $450 shipped to lower 48
