It will only let me attach one picture from my phone, but the item is for sale on eBay, so feel free to view it there and PM me here.

For sale is one ALMOST LIKE NEW McDermott bocote cue. It features a leather wrap, which again, is almost like new. I'm not sure of the model, it's either an EF01, an EF-2, or an EF-1. It has wooden rings on the joint collars, and looks like bocote, not cocobolo, so it's tough to find one exactly like it to determine the model. Pretty uncommon cue, and it's gorgeous, too. Butt of the cue is mint aside from one ridge where the lacquer rose along the line of the grain; you can barely see it as it's along the grain (I tried to catch it in that close-up of the wood), but you can feel it if you're looking for it. I'd say it's still in 95% condition. The rest of the butt is pretty much perfect... No dings or scratches. The shafts have been played with, but they're still smooth as can be, and clean. One shaft's joint collar has a scuff on it, as pictured. Just McDermott shafts are selling for $80 on eBay. Now, I'll say that in typical '80s to '90s McDermott fashion, the fiber ferrules have expanded and contracted, and are mis-aligned (see the gap in the photo), and as such the shafts no longer roll straight. The butt rolls laser straight, so I have little doubt that the two shafts will roll straight as well once the ferrules have been replaced. I'd have the ferrule and tip replaced before I sell it, but some people like Juma ferrules and some like Ivor-X ferrules, and some people like Kamui tips and some like Sniper tips... I'd rather leave picking your hardware up to you.
It's got wood-to-wood joints -- no metal insert in the shafts, for maximum feel. They fit very tightly though, so it's got a strong, solid hit to it. It's 58" long (excluding bumper) and weighs 19 ounces. The tip is a 13mm. The threads are the typical McDermott 3/8 X 10.
The case it comes in is great, too... Leather, very hefty, and it features individual velvet sleeves for the shafts, and velvet cushioning to hold the cue in place tightly. Very hefty and quality piece, with heavy duty latches, easily as good as a McDermott or Huebler case. The pictures don't do it justice.
If you're in/around Atlanta, feel free to come see or purchase it in person. Hell, I live around the corner from Mr. Cues, so if you're really serious, you could shoot with it if you want, at your expense.
$245 firm, shipped.
