First time i've seen this thread, and you're right, if this picture was on ebay under the title "pair of vintage shafts, unknown maker, Szam, Bushka...etc" they would probably fetch a premium. Thats a really cool looking cue. It kind of makes you think about the Miz cue/s that went over seas and the ones that came here from overseas.Now, one should understand that the ring work on these shafts might lead one to believe they might be from a known US maker. But I knew what they were, and they were original Mizerak Taiwan made shafts.
