I purchased this about a year and a half ago. It had been in a personal collection for over twenty years. I finally talked to Bob Runde(actually member Howard the Dick talked to him for me) and Bob remembers this cue. He made it around 1984-85. It was a special order that he personally completed all the work on. I am amazed at the perfect balance of the cue. It weighs 19.6 or 19.8 depending on which shaft is used. Both shafts and the butt are arrow-straight. This cue is in amazing condition for it's age, I have seen a lot of posts lately with people putting up old Runde Schons and wanting pictures posted so I thought I would share. I also purchased the old bank player Truman Hogue's Jensen cue and will upload pictures of it soon. It is also a beautiful cue.
