Looks like a basic job so no big deal but I'd certainly give original builder a chance first

Sorry about that. I didn't get any warning for such. Thank you for the heads up.
The forums links are bad, don't go there.

Do you see the arrows … they are silver and would have to be all redone ?

I see the arrows and yes the finish over them needs redone it sounds, no big deal. The picture isn't the best so if your saying the arrows all need replaced then that's another big problem.
I think you can expect a refinish to mean they would address the clear coat and maybe even take a little bit of it off, clean it and then respray the clear coat.
Repairing inlays would be a whole 'nother ball of Wax.
Who made it, looks familiar?

Yep...
Yeah I've seen it before on here, I think for sale or atleast one just like it
No. They do not have to be re-done (replaced)
When refinishing a cue with silver inlays, it's extra work because the silver gets polished but not with compounds or anything you think as in polishing. It's all about the prep work. Once the old finish is removed on any Cue. You treat it like a new Cue finish and follow the steps.
There is a HUGE difference is refinishing and just scuffing and spraying over!

There is a lot more to finish than just finish.
ESPECIALLY,
When combining any metal with wood.
I can barely wield a cue, much less shine one up.
However, I am smart enough to know to go to a pro... yuhknow?
Michael refinished one of my cues that has metal rings. He said he could refinish it so the rings would not pop later. That was 9 years ago and the cue is still perfect. There may be others who can refinish your cue, but you won’t find better than Michael Webb.
Bill Schick cue refinished
Earlier this week, I received my 1993 Bill Schick cue back from Mike Webb who did an excellent job refinishing it. Nothing was wrong with the cue except that I had worn off the finish in some places leading some of the rings to tarnish. Mike...
