PJ is a Saint???
It SURE was a shame for that original wrap to come off such a good, great looking survivor.
Likely was a good reason, I’d like to hear about it, thanks.

The wrap is actually one of the things that could have been used to identify it as a possible Gus or defiantly not. He did his different than almost anyone else so it is a great place to start.Will I agree that indeed it was a shame to have to remove the wrap, and there is a reason that I didn't show the entire cue. This is why anyone buying a vintage cue should ask as many questions possible prior to purchase as pictures can often be misleading as to the actual condition of a cue. In this particular case I bought the cue knowing full well that the wrap was going to have to be replaced, and posted pictures that were intended for the discussion of its history. That being said I understand the frustration considering the potential of the cues provenance. I can assure you that the best care is being taken to preserve this cue no expense spared.

Looks to be cortland #9. This cue was wrapped from the butt forward counter clockwise if that helps.The wrap is actually one of the things that could have been used to identify it as a possible Gus or defiantly not. He did his different than almost anyone else so it is a great place to start.

Strung along...I think you should start a new thread...
Well played.I think you should start a new thread...
There were no markings on the wood whatsoever, only the thread just as i pictured it here.Are there any scratches in the wrap groove that the green thread might be filling?
