Question for knowledgeable cue people

Its my understanding that the 'Bushka' ring is the black joint collar
with the silver ring. I had a bushka like the no 6 cue in the 70's.
Wish I still had it! Lol

Third cue from the top - is that was people refer to as Balabushka rings?

Any idea who made the forearm on each of those cues?

It's more variable than you think. The third from the top? Yes, that's a Bushka ring. Gus Z. did it quite often as well. A typical Bushka ring might start with nickel rings on the outside, then a couple black phenolic rings, maybe a white phenolic ring in the middle of a couple more nickel rings. Or, some of the nickel rings might not be there. There could be a double white phenolic ring section inside a black phenolic ring section, with nickel rings outside. Or maybe something a bit asymmetrical, such as your first cue. Got it?

And, the seller covered the blanks pretty well.

All the best,
WW
