This is a Richard Black.
1 shaft, 19oz, pre signature, 1978 model, original finish, Ivory ferrule, 4 Points with Green & Black veneers, 6 windows and straight as an arrow, about 80% condition.
Pre 1980, Richard did not sign his cues.
Richard authenticated the cue with a cerificate stating that he made it.
In an email a few yers ago he stated the replacement value was $1,400. His email to me yesterday stated that a new replacement would be $1,700.
VALUE for the condition, age and collect-ability now = ???????????
