Looking for a model number for this Helmstetter or to find out if it is custom. Can not find in the Blue Book, none of the models listed show the ring setup at the joint or the windows of this type in the butt sleeve. Any help would be appreciated.

Does it say Helmstetter on it?
By the way I like those hills in the background of your picture.
 
Never seen this cue before- and i know a lot of Helmstetter. Used to own a Custom Helmstetter in the 80 s. Sold it -_- ....still angry about me :)

anyway a great looking cue and sure one of the nicest i saw from Helmstetter.

So to start, those hills are called Horse Heaven Hills and run about a 100 miles somewhat parallel to the Columbia River in WA St. We live in Badger Canyon which is about 14 miles long. What you see on the top of the hills is winter wheat as most all of this area is dry farming of wheat.
As for the cue, yes it does say Helmstetter, it is in very good condition except that the finish is about gone and the wrap is very dirty. Imagine it had the white w/green speck but now looks very unwhite... is that a word? Seems to be all original although the original weight bolt has been taken out but I am getting that back next Monday. Butt rolls straight, shaft has some wobble but rolls straight when attached (yes, it still has the wobble).
Is it for sale? Yes. But would like to figure out what it is first. As no seems to have seem the cue before I would guess that it was a custom. The implex joint also seems a departure from the norm for Adam cues.
And, Ratta, I have not forgotten you my friend, just busy. Will get a shaft on it's way to you next week. Thanks
Anymore info about this cue???
