Help identifying cue. McDermott ?

[SandBagGod]

Guy wants me to buy this cue @325$.
I dont think it's a mcdermott. Not listed on website under retired D series cues. Any info appreciated. Looks like a rando to me.

The bumper looks wrong for a McDermott but it could have been replaced. I don't know much though, I'd imagine someone more well versed may be along shortly.

Pretty much impossible to try to identify off this one photo. You need better photos of the joint, veneers, and under the bumper before I would fork over any cash

I'm waiting for more and have been, intend on updating post with them once received.

It could be a McDermott factory one off / customized C-9?

Joint and pin is very non-McDermott like.

Kind of looks like an Adams with the butt cap replaced?

Let’s see those vintage Adam cues

Let’s see those vintage Adam cues. Here is my wife’s early 1970’s (no butt logo) Adam/Helmstetter - model A/H-2 “Americana”. Recently refurbished by Larry at Craig (manwon) Rittel’s Full Splice Billiards. [edit1]corrected FSB link

Suspicions confirmed.

Looks like a Spalding. Imported with almost no value.

Its better than that. Looks like a KaoKao cue and those were/are actually pretty well made and play fine. They just weren't very exp new and even less now. For a C-note you'd have a good daily player or great back-up/bar beater.

Not a McD I’m positive of that
