I'm 4th owner. I knew 2nd/3rd personally. Talked to original owner(nasc)Glen of this forum, on the phone last week. Hope he dont mind me exposing him, but he had alot of build knowledge/history to tell me. Made early 90's. 1st Samsara made with quick release pin. Sister cue is similar, but regular pin. These 2 cues made from wood from a passed down family heirloom jewelry box that was broken. Guessin the box was over 100 years old or so! Anyway, I love this cue and its originality, but always wanted to replace my old West that was taken from me years ago. I wuold like a trade, or enough to buy an old West in great shape. Samsara has 2 shafts 12.5, other 12.8.
1 small ding on butt below wrap. This cue is way too fancy for me to use as a player, fraid i'll damage it! Any realistic offers/trades...I like a stiff hitting cue, so something as valuable/comparable considered...Thanx,AJ
