HELP! Fancy Southwest - what's it worth?

[Hidy Ho]

I saw a fancy Southwest last night - it's Franklin era and authenticated. The cue look very simliar to pictures shown below (ebony cue with maple inlays). The condition is 90% (good to great - not mint) with two original shafts.

What would be a GREAT purchase price and FMV of the cue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of $3,268.43

I agree with Hal. Anything under $4k for a fancy Franklin era Southwest is a pretty good deal. I think Southwest's current price list indicates a fancy Southwest cue made to order starts at $3200. I've seen them trade for $6k-$8k.

Are you sure? My estimate differs by few cents +/-

Well, think about it, Ive seen current SW plain with veneers go for 2500.
Their inlaid cues are even more 3000+, plus add Franklin era surcharge 1500-2500 depending upon the niceties.
