I was led to Manwon 8 or 10 years ago via this forum when I was looking for a few Westinghouse Micarta ferrules.
I called him at Full Splice Billiards in Washington State and asked him about it. He said he thinks he had sold them all
but he would look around.
Sure enough he found his last 2 and got back in touch with me and I bought them both, still have one on
one of my Rick Howard shafts. He said that he had gotten these directly from Schon many years before.
We chatted on the phone for a while but I think he got a kick out of my heavy Alabama accent more than the context of
what I had to say, lol.
IIRC I think his name was Craig Rittell, (sp)? (Hard to forget the lovely dog as his profile pic!) lol
I hope he is well.
