New vintage Runde/Schon R1 BEM Merry Widow w/ 3 shafts and case

If the shaft without the logo is original and has no logo, it means it is a pre93 schon, which is technically a Runde era cue as nickel rings became standard in 87. Most people consider Runde era to have stitch rings, but considering the STL1/R1 has no points, it is difficult to distinguish between the two. The more desirable R1 has stitch rings as it allows one to recognize it being an R1. The metal stitch rings in butt though and no micarta ferrule on original shaft tells me it a late 80's/early 90's STL1.
 
Could this be an SL1 not an stl1? I have a sl1 and an sl5. My sl1 has the same ring pattern as this cue is why I ask.

That shaft isn't original

The unmarked shaft is pre-93 Schon. Everything else is made after Bob left. Evan made those silver ladder rings, so it is one of his cues.
