See my other post on what vintage Adam Balabushka it is. If it matters to you, that photo is from the “made in Japan” years that were actually built in China. The pin ia distinct for that era. Not that they play bad or anything. As far as I have researched, there were two distinct eras for Adam Japan Balabushka (Japan and then China), and one (current) era of Balabuhska Cue Company’s Balabushka Signature cues . The latter have nothing to do with Adam Japan.From my understanding its ADAM hellstetter GB from Japan which is exactly what I was looking for...but ok ill pass on it, unless someone here knows one of these usernames maybe he tries to sell this ADAM balabushka for best price. who knows.
