Older Vikings

[galipeau]

Would like to see some! Just picked up a be plain Martin style BEM merry widow Viking from the 80's or 90's. Will post when it arrives. Want to see what else you guys have.

I think I might have one or two laying around.

This is the only Viking I have, it an N180. The finish is so yellow but I'm afraid to have a refinish because I don't want to loose the Viking on the buttcap. The veneers look orange but used to be red.

If this cue is ever open for sale please contact me. I collect cues with WICO plastic veneers which I believe this cue has, not wood veneers.

Jayman, if you have any duplicate WICO pointed Vikings (or Palmers) that you might be interested in moving I would love it if you would keep me in mind sir. Thanks,

Hi John, I have a few. I'll let you know if I decide to part with any.
Take care,

Here is my first viking. Shaft has a warp, but I have a nice OB original with a white collar that fits. Love the simplicity and old school style. Very Martin-esque.

Anyone know the model?

Not really sure on this, I just liked it. Looking on the archive of the Viking website my best guess is one of these:
Z35 1974
R35 1976
H40 1978-81
B50 1981-83

Although they don’t show a dark shaft. Option maybe?

I welcome any feedback on the above or what it’s worth might be. Not selling just curious.

Viking made their own plastic veneer cues. Only a few very early ones were wico, because Bob gave Gordon the system when he quit making the wico blanks.

This one is a Palmer blank. Another Palmer blank coming when I get some pictures. I have them in Spain, Adam, Titlist, Viking/Wico as well a few other pretty nice ones.

My first cue was a Viking I got for my 14th birthday. Foolishly I sold it a number of years ago. I found this one maybe two years ago. A450 if I recall. I have a matching second shaft, but I’m not sure which case it is in.

That A450 is really cool.
