Help with cue Identificaton please........

I can take some this evening... just ignore the warped shaft and missing tip.

It was my first "real" cue so I still have it laying around for sentimental value...

I know I'm probably wrong....

But the joint and stitched ringwork along with the bottom of the butt and screw look a hell of a lot like a 20 year old National that I have.

Ofcourse, it could just be that National ripped off those parts from someone else.

In that timeframe, 20-ish years ago, there was a flood of cheap
cues imported from Taiwan - this is one of them.

Many were sold under the 'National' name by the National Billiard Co.

Here are a few pictures of my National that remind me of yours, a bit blurry, but as good as I could get tonight

I know... His cue could very well be something else and I hope it is, but a few of the details reminded me very much of my old National. Looking at the quality of the grain in the wood on his, it's probably not, but I had to put it out there since it did remind me...

Thanks Brian, I think were damn close here with the National. The butt-
cap and joint are really close if not dead on. Stitch ringwork looks like
they match too. I also got a reply from the Adams cue company, and
was told that they are stumped over there on who made the cue, so
I'm gonna lean away from them at this time. Thanks again for the pics,
I really appreciate it.
