Is this really an early Adam? Value?

Knowing that I have a few Adam cues, a youngster at the pool hall asked me about an Adam he has.

It's rough, and needs some TLC. He put tape on the unraveling wrap. He is wondering how much it might be worth. Can anyone tell me:
- Is this truly a very early Adam? (I am dubious on his claim.)
- He says this has mother-of-pearl. Tru dat?
- What would it be worth restored?
- What would it be worth in its present condition?

I like the opposing inlay points.

Thanks, all!

Mother of pearl?

Well...I have seen many things called that...it's plastic.

I believe that is an A/H-12 Century.

I will look in my catalogs and post a picture or two.

"Very early"?

To me "very early" is brass pointed pin with aluminum shaft inserts, first year production.

Semantics aside, it's a brass pin, so "early" might apply.

Thanks...I actually get a lot wrong, just ask The Crazy Redhead. She will tell you exact dates and times.

Value? I avoid that issue. Restoration cost? Check with Proficient.
