Joss West???

[$TAKE HOR$E]

Gonna post this for sale soon but am not 100% sure on the maker. Was told JW by previous owner and it does have a 5/16x14 pin. It does not have spliced points and it looks to me like the buttcap has been replaced at some point but overall the cue is in nice shape.

Also, the butt is 28.5 inches and the shaft is a standard 29

Pic of the bumper added......also shaft insert

The ringwork and the general look of the cue say JW, but you're definitely right, the buttcap and bumper have definitely been changed at some point if it is. Cheers :smile:

PM Bill and ask him. He posts on the forum as bstroud.

Yes it is Josswest.

Bill started doing his points as inlays verses splices later in his career.

Shaft insert sure doesn't look JW and neither does the ferrule (but that could have been changed too). ??

Agreed.

This cue has had an interesting journey.

Hi,

Until you said the butt cap was replaced I did not think it was a JW because of the shart contour of the butt cap. Everything else looks right.

Thanks for all the replies. I know there were JWs made like this and while in Olathe last year at a tournament I saw a cue almost identical to his one, points were rosewood I believe and it had the JW on the buttcap.
