It is very pretty but I am curious - how do you know for sure that one is not fake? Many years ago I bought what turned out to be a fake from a dealer with these same colors. That was like '86 or '87. While I am not bitter about it, you could say it was a learning experience. Lots of fake ones.

Well we don't buy without it passing the exam from one of two people. If it gets signed off on, we have to go from there. Plus we have our own criteria after seeing so many of them. This happens to meet or exceed just about everything we threw at it. Fakes will always be a problem, thankfully most cuemakers are reputable and hopefully would never knowingly make a fake down to the proper bore sizes and depths, but that doesn't mean it's not possible, or hasn't happened.

FYI we also had a black/green/black/green pointed cue that was purchased as a Bushka, and it was fake, and we ended up selling it for a few hundred as an unknown.

Sweet old thing!

Did you luck out with a Szam front or a Spain?
I really hate to guess. Not! But if I do guess,I guess you know!

Thats great I was just going to post this as my other favorite backend. Dan White has an identical one. Paul Rubino and I are going to do a slight variation on this for a cue he is building for me.
