It's a Black, WTF are you on about

I understand it means a lot to you, but too many things wrong. Black didn't treat the insides of the buttplate that way. Black would never have shaft collar rings that uneven. Black's points came together closer at the wrap. Just too many things.

You realize we're talking about some of the very first cues he made before he fully fleshed out what we know as his style.

You can't compare this to anything made after 78/79. How many RB cues from 74-77 have you owned or handled.

And I get pretty sick of people throwing out the emotionaly invested card as some sort of explanation of how their janky unsupported logic is infinitely superior.

My cue is identical to the other 75 cue except for the different wood choices in the forearm and sleeve. You never really addressed that at all unless your saying that cue is fake.

I never said it's a fake anything. It's a very common design. I think about every cuemaker has made a similar box style buttsleeve like this. It just doesn't look like Richard's work. But, enjoy it, whatever it is. Any pictures of the ferrules, or the bumper? Those are very important.

My cue does not have a bumper and from the photos of Nineballs neither did his but he would need to independently confirm that.

The ferrule on my shaft is ivory here is a photo of it.
