Really Signed?
- Thread starter Billyard
- Start date
Every pic I've been able to find regarding an M11B doesn't show the signature. Do you have a link or anything that shows this ?
The picture of the logo was recently added.
Until THAT pic showed up, I was starting to consider the cue in this auction may have been a McDermott C-1, mislabeled by the seller...
I wasn't gonna tell any of you until I won it :grin:
It's a Mcdermott, the wood is correct, the pin & insert are correct for that model of cue, and the chamfer at the butt-end is correct. The bumper might not look right, but that could have been changed at anytime.
IMO, it'd be more trouble than its worth to try to fake this - find a cue or blank with the correct wood, get a pin and insert correct to a McDermott M11B, match the the chamfer on the butt-end ...DO ALL THAT just to make a $50 or $60 bucks and risk getting negative feedback as an eBay seller
..and the kicker, if you look at the listing now there's a picture of the logo.
On the McDermott website, under retired cues, the M11B has that 'goofy', non-McD bumper...
This was a cue of the month model. Same as the standard sneaky they were selling at the time. And yes, they could have done a better job with the printing, maybe just using the month and year.
That particular cue has a screw to hold the bumper on.
Search EBay for a cue named Eliminator and see how much they look the same. I know the one in the auction does have a clover leaf stamped on it.
Still, I seriously doubt McDermott would sign a cue that sloppily.
Something may not be right in the State of Denmark.
Eliminator on Fleece bay.

And now the bid is up to what, $76. I have an Eliminator and ya know what, they are a fantastic trunk cue for the money. They can be had for much less than the fake Dermy.

Yes this is really a Mcdermott
Hey i had two of these with that same signature ,they were the Nov. 2006 cue of the month with that child looking hand (signed) written signature ! After 2006 they continued making a few M11b's but without the signature on the forearm. This i learned from a McDermott rep In 2006-2007 !
