Had this posted in the main forum, but thought I'd try here too. Here goes.

A friend of mine has this old cue. It was given to him by the widow of the
original owner. To the best of her recollection, she's guessing that her late
husband bought the cue about 30 to 35 years ago. She also thinks that he
paid in the neighborhood of $ 200 to $ 300 back then. For some reason she
thinks that the name Richard Black rings a bell, but she is not sure of the
maker. The pin thread looks to be 5/16-18. To me it looks like a full spliced
forearm. Please take a look at the pics, and share your thoughts. My friend
would send the cue out to get authenticated, but would like to have some
idea of who to send the cue to. Thanks all. Much appreciated, Dom.

Did she bring up Richard Black or did she say she recognizef it from several names mentioned?
 
RICHARD BLACK WOULD BE MY GUESS AS WELL. IT WOULD BE FROM A SMALL TIME WINDOW, GOING BY THE RING WORK.

RICHARD IS USUALLY VERY GOOD ABOUT REPLYING TO E-MAILS ABOUT HIS CUES. E-MAIL HIM THESE PICS, AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS.
