Looks like a recent Chinese Palmer
Knock off
It's an overseas knock off of a palmer. I had a friend that brought a few of these and would sell them new for $50. The rings are narrower, and the Palmers were logo'd.

It is the lowest price Cue that the Guy in Vegas used to sell on E-bay. It had a starting bid of $59.00 a couple of years ago when I stopped selling them. The higher end Palmers he was selling were discontinued Fury cues. I have seen a lot of racks ran with one of those cues. Some one new or he has started listing them with high buy now or best offer on them. They are better cues than a Players, Star or any of the low end cues coming out of China. The model that looks like a Schon SLT 15 is the best one he sells. It is all inlaid, not decals. That Fury model sold for $175.00 on most Billiards websites.
If your cue doesn't have a Palmer label on it. It is the first one I have seen that didn't.
nice cue where did you purchase it on ebay
I have 1 of those 'palmer' from the guy in vegas. $69 , extra shafts for $30. Mine plays great. I also own a 73' JOSS and 2 Bob Frey cues. I took it to Bob in 2013 when Tim Scruggs stopped by. Timmy said the points are real inlays and that just the materials to make the cue would have cost him about $140.
Good luck
ps
Alot of them are heavy. 20+ozs. I cut the weight bolt down to 19oz.

They're not bad cues really. The only thing I really didn't like about them was the taper, but that was easily fixed. I just took that down a little and put a Hercules tip on it and sold it for I think $80 to a league player, but I'd really doubt that you'd even to do that much. Play with it a little, see what you think.
Cheap isnt always bad.
I bought 11 of the ss jointed mcd/star cues for 50 each. Sold them from 80 to 120. Their wasnt 1 of them I didnt like. I dont like ss jointed cues, so I was very surprised.
They were all decal cues. Everyone who bought 1 could not believe how good they played. Twins, who have 30 or more cues,played with one and had to have it. The girl who I sold it to for 80,told them for 200 it's yours. She was pleased to know I had 1 left.
Also those mohawk? cues play pretty good.
