Palmer with issues,any comments?

My opinion doesn't matter

Even though I have no formal education in Palmers, I have seen quite a few and almost everything available to study on the internet and this cue is way too off.

The bumper is not right.
Admitted the wrap is likely not originial.
Bad pics? or not really titliest veneers and points? Look more like Spain points.

The JOINT??? Come on now. The Balner's usually limited their customization to name inscription and wrap color combinations.


I could be way off, but I think it is faked with a Palmer butt sleeve from a broken Palmer.

Where is PalmerCollector when you need him??? He's getting as bad as the local law enforcement.

Wrap looked fine (Money green and white linen)

Blew up pic it is a titlist forarm

The JOINT??? Come on now. The Balner's usually limited their customization to name inscription and wrap color combinations.

Patience is a Virtue!?

Patience folks......TATE will I'm sure help you ID this cue, etc.

For $1,500 I would tell you -- have somebody make you a custom cue -- not sure the vintage of this Palmer -- but, it seems like alot of $$$ to me for a cue that will sit in the closet and be the plain jane that may never develop into a gem???!!!??? :rolleyes:
 
Looking at the cue,as discussed in the earlier post,it seems the joint and shafts ahve been sawed off and the joint and colars replaced. Now sort of a 5/16/18 flat face?
 
I blew up the joint/shaft pic .
It is a 5/16x18 with black pearl (like it should) the narrow black ring is like it should be (narrow) the silver ring is nickle wide (like it should be).
I think it's just a custom flat face from Palmer.

the cue is only about a 900$ cue anyway. ive had a few with the joint changed it mat be a 500$ cue if that . all the can be fixed but it will never be original. the joint was cut flat in half and the pilots in the shaft removed. i dont know why someone would do this

my bet is most wouldnt even bother with this. tate could fix this with all original aplmer parts but he would only offer 1\4 of that 1500. if that

I posted this link before,but I did not get any definative opinions.

I think it's a Palmer with a re-worked joint. I would be surprised if this is original. It's not the first one I've seen with a changed out joint. I saw one with a radial pin! Geeze folks, keep them original!!!!

By the way, I bought an old Brunswick from this seller - and he's great to deal with. The cue is really nice.
