Need help to identify. Paid schon their 20 bucks to be told it was a cx34 and that’s no where close. I personally think it’s a st3. Thanks

It also came with 2 shafts from 1993 with schon on the collar, I believe they are orign to the cue because all 3 have the same goldish tint to the rings
 
Don't think it's a cx34 as doing a Google search there are others out there that look nothing like what you show.
Also don't think it's a st3 as the picture you show has much fancier rings and points. Probably is a couple version though.
 
CX line came much later, early 2000’s
It looks a bit like an SL4 but rings on the butt are wrong
 
There is a website that shows pics of all the cx line up. I think I came across the link on this site. I’m not able to find it now. The reason I think it’s a st3 is the time frame and ring colors can vary.
 
I have a pic of the cx 34, it’s not even close. It has 8 all black points, black butt cap. I called and talked to terry romine jr, he agreed that wasn’t it, but is positive it was made by Evan Clarke and sure it was a cx model. He was suppose to do more digging and get back with me. That was January.

This sounds accurate.
I have a CX18 purchased in '93 with the signed shaft collar.

I was off a few. I asked this on SchonCollect. FB page and head guru Donny said CX's came out in '99. The OP needs to ask Donny Lavery on the Schon FB page. Guy knows a shit ton about them.

The schon archives doesn't show a CX34. I am not 100% positive but I believe Evan said that pin was use in 92 or 93 with a few left being used for a few specialty cues but were all gone by 96.View attachment 824391View attachment 824392

Old thread, but in case it comes up, don’t anyone call this an Acme thread.

1993 is when Evan introduced that pin, which was made to more tight tolerance, using CNC turning. It’s bullet-nosed piloted Schon undersized 5/16-14, and it fits all other Schon shafts of that thread. Someone erroneously called it an Acme Pin. There is nothing Acme about it, so whoever started that should be flogged and labeled for the Dunning Kruger that it is. And of course with the Internet, it’s spread like wildfire. Additionally, although Evan shortly used it in 1993, he used it in other years as well, especially if people would ask for it, but it didn’t get the reception and people complained, so he reverted back to what he considered the inferior joint pin. Because of all this, it pissed Evan off. So that pen is now officially… OK unofficially… Called the PISSEVANOFF pin.

Even made a great video or two of his thoughts on this joint pin. Great guy. I’m proud to have been his friend.

There was a short period where Evan and I spoke almost every day. I still have a messenger filled with his audio recordings. He was one of the most fascinating people I've known and I miss talking to him.
