I have no clue unless it was made by the name on the butt or it could be the original owners name.
The reverse swastikas give me the creeps,I would never own that cue.

I wanted to say you are too sensitive, but after looking at the cue creeps all the way.
I had taken a quick glance at the cue and that never even occurred to me, didn't notice. Then I saw measureman's post and now the resemblance sticks out like a sore thumb and I find it a bit creepy too. I do know the use of that symbol (left and right versions) go back thousands of years and are deeply entrenched in certain cultures with certain good meanings even to this day so this cue certainly wasn't intended to be represent anything bad, quite opposite actually. Unfortunately a certain somebody usurped a version of the symbol before WWII and since then anything similar has been ruined for most of those in the western world and it is a shame.
That said, I'm no expert but to me this finally looks like a cue that might break the long streak for this kind of thread where the answer is "cheap asian import cue, not worth much". Looks to be a well made cue from here and my guess would also be that the name on the cue is a previous owner. Now watch it turn out to be a cheap import because i said that lol.
I found a Google link referencing a player out of SE United States named Tom Addison. He has a Facebook profile so you might be able to reach out to him.
Surprising there are no comments from the OP?

Although pre wwII, they are swastikas never the less.
