Is This a Real Meucci Crown Jewel

[PhilosopherKing]

So, for whatever reason, I just bought this cue without really looking at it.

The seller says it’s an original Crown Jewel, but there are some obvious red flags.

I‘ve seen a bunch of Castle Walls and Olympian knock-offs, and the usually have a very cheap-looking brass pin.

This cue has what looks like a high-quality screw.

The shaft also has a nylon insert; interesting considering the Meucci/Huebler connection.

What do you think?

Granted I'm far from a expert on pool cues and it's been awhile since I last held a Huebler pool cue but it certainly appears to be a one from what I remember of them .
I've got a sneaking suspension that it hits a ball rather well whatever it is , let us know how it does.

Early Meuccis had nylon too, send pics to Bob or his daughter

When I seen this previously for sale, based on the wrap and the rubber bumper, I felt it was a cheap knockoff with decals, but wasn't sure.

Joint ringwork looks all wrong to me. So does buttcap and bumper. And the inlays. Knockoff. Real deal: https://www.budgetcues.com/archive/meucci-jr-series-2.htm Not even close.

Did you see it this morning or some other time?

The guy said he got it at a yard sale, and then posted a picture from goodwill.

Yeah. I’m thinking that it could be something pre-production.

What bothers me is all scepters, no swords, like they thought the one decal would be enough... That’s if it’s a fake.

Guy listed it as a Meucci Original not Unknown; so, I‘ll have no reservations about sending it back if I have to.

Its not even close to the way a real one looks. Everything about it screams fake.
