I have seen a few of these cues over the years but I do not know the exact model. It plays good and is straight but it has a couple mentionable flaws. I am not sure about this but it looks like someone has tryed to work on the joint of the cue because it is rounded off on the butt and shaft. It is somewhat hard to explain but it is beveled and when the cue is screwed together there is a crease around the joint that you can feel and see. I know this cue is at least 10 years old and other than the joint it is in good shape. I just got back from a big tournament and someone there had a semi expensive Joss and the shaft was the very same way and it looked like it was made that way. I also thought with the age of the cue it could be from going into a case with the joint end end down, but it would have to be very tight and done lots of times to wear it down. The finish at the joint is worn on the butt and shaft and that is another reason I thought someone tryed to alter it but there seems to be no reaoson because the cue is fine. I have tryed to take a pictre of the joint but its hard to see. I talked to a cuemaker / repairman and he said the cue could be faced off at the joint until the butt and shaft were flush or a ring could be added to it but it is perfectly fine the way it is to play. SOLD

Butt - 14.75 ounce
Shaft - 3.4 ounce 12.75 mm

This was a break cue I made a great many years ago.
It doesn't have a model number it was just called a break cue.
The logo / design on the cue is a cue ball being hit so hard that the tip puts a dent in the ball.
The cue is jointed with a finger joint. This makes a multi point look.
The slanted letters represent the shaft moving so fast during the break that the letters are tilted by the speed of the butt.
It was a fun cue that I only made a few of way back when.

Regards,
Dan
