I used to collect Meucci cues and I must say this one is a looker. Did you use the collar from the old meucci shaft for the 314 or was one created to match?
Unfortunately I only got the butt when I purchased the cue so we had to make a ring to match. Dave had a piece of some type of plastic that neither of us could identify and it is a pretty close match, a little bit whiter but closer than anything else in the shop.
Great cue, and a great job by Ryan of saving a very tough to find cue. Meucci truly did things back then that truly set them apart from all the other cue companies.
