If anyone knows this I'd appreciate the info. Has Samsara ever used a B on their Bar Cue series cues instead of an S on the cue butt.
Thanks in advance!

No expert on them but i've never seen one with a 'B' on it. Might msg. them direct. https://www.samsaracues.com/contact-us/ IIRC they may have shut down cue production after one partner passed away. Ted Harris joined them a few yrs ago and afaik is still there making cues.

Yeah, I might try to call. None of my emails ha e been returned. Seems a lot of people have had very little luck contacting them. I've never seen one until recently on Ebay. It seems you'd be going to a lot of trouble to fake a cue that sold for only 500 new but what do I know. Seen stranger things!
I'll say this in advance of reading your post.
NOBODY is faking a samsara.
Why would they? This is the real question
agree. They made very nice cues but not in the 'fake-able' category imo. don't see anyone knocking one off.
Is there a specific cue you're asking about? If so, do you happen to have pictures of it?
The first custom I ever ordered was from them and I always enjoy checking out their cues. Their designs are relatively unique and even the Bar Cue series cues have a subtle but distinct Samsara look to them.

If you don’t get an answer soon, I’ll revisit my notes when I get this weekend. My foggy memory is telling that they started out with a B, but I could be mis-remembering and mixing up my thoughts. Too much cuemaker info has gone into my noggin. Some things tend to get pushed out. I sent a note to Jim Stadum for you.
The Bar Cue was supposed to be a very low key cue. I’m surprised how “fancy” they look today.
This is the exact thing that's messing with me. I *seem* to remember the same thing on their super early ones, but I don't know if it's an actual memory or one that I've just made up.
It is confirmed. Samsara did make the first ones with a B, and it wasn’t that many. So yours was built in that 2006/2007 timeframe prior to switching to the Samsara logo.
Now I can’t wait to get home and see if I have a photo of several BarCues with that B logo.
Your excited anticipation is fantastical!
Thanks all . I really appreciate the input and information! Good to know !
The older I get, the better I played!!
