Is this a TAD Harvey Martin?

[PDX]

This has always been one of my favorite PJ’s with a great pedigree, if it is a TAD. I am 99% sure, but I’d like to get some other eyes on the cue.

The guy I bought it from said it was donated and won from an Eagles Lodge Pool Tournament in 1992 and wasn’t used too much after that. He said it was a used cue when it was donated.

Looks like an actual Martin, but has Tad features. Nice cue!

IIRC Tad did a handful of tribute cues to Martin, who was the largest influence in his cuemaking. This is more than likely one of those cues. You can check to see if Fred remembers.

I've heard that before but couldn't find out if Mr. Kohara used the 3/8x10 or his own 3/8x12.

I spoke with Fred and he told me that Tad used 3/8x12 on the Martin homage cues.
