This is a vintage Ricco Cervantes cue in great condition with two original shafts. I bought this cue and both shafts directly from Ricco and it includes a Certificate of Authenticity. I shot about 5 or 6 balls (not games) with it, then cased it where it has remained ever since. One shaft has never even been chalked. The shafts and cue are straight. Ricco was one of the last "old school" cue makers, and he made all of his cues entirely by hand from 1967 until 1995, when he retired.
A picture and write-up of Ricco is in the Billiard Encyclopedia on page 355. It states that, "Ricco's cues are fine playing tools as well as exceptional sights to behold. He was a true artisan and his contributions to the craft of cuemaking combine old world tradition with a personal style that made his cues unique."
As was his custom, this cue is autographed with 18kt gold inlays in the butt sleeve. It has pink ivory and ebony windows, rings and points and has mother of pearl inlays over cocobolo. It has a black leather wrap. The shafts have black ferrules (which was rare for Ricco) and is approx. 59" long with both shafts. It weighs approx. 19 oz. with both shafts. Note: Any white lines are camera reflections. I am selling this cue and both shafts for $750. If interested, contact me at noddon1@aol.com.
