I have wanted one of these for a while and finally pulled the trigger. This one is a sharp point SP22 Runde Schon made in 86. I was lucky to get this from the pre-eminent Schon expert Donny Lavery. The cue is in original condition and probably a 9/10 overall. 1 full 13mm Micarta ferrule shaft and one 30in 12mm ivory ferrule. I’ve owned the all of them short of a Gus and nothing, I mean nothing hits like the Runde Schon. Post pics of yours! If you can’t tell I’m really enjoying it!

Thanks. I believe this has started a new obsession for me. I love the old school traditional steel joint players this one is right up there with the Tascarella!

Super sharp and classy wand. 
I have bought and sold at least 300 cues. Usually there are no universal thoughts, but with two makers of cues this seems to be common.
Someone buys a Schon and loves it but eventually sells it and regrets it forever. I have buddys that bitch and moan about what a mistake it was to let one go......and then ask me to keep an eye out for another one.
The second one is Josswest (older ones) cues owners sand and mess with their shafts. I have bought many over the years and finding any shafts near 13mm is as common as seeing bigfoot. I have seen them widdled down all the way down to below 10mm.
My point my friend, if you let it go, you might join that first group.
Best of rolls,

When I got my first job out of college I decided to buy a decent cue. I went to showcase billiards in Denver and tried every cue they had. I bought a Runde Schon with CNC points because it hit the best.
I still have it. I won’t sell it. I try to find cues to replace it and they feel great too. Bob Owen and Ernie Martinez both come to mind. But when I pull out my old familiar Schon it just feels right in a way I can’t explain.
