South West cue, pin # 96 - 414. A rare find under 20 oz.!!!
From the last year of "Jerry Franklin Era" South West cues.
Original condition with 3 shafts.
Butt/forearm: 15.35 oz. Nicely figured BEM forearm, 3 high & 3 low Pau Ferro points with two veneers (black & natural). Linen wrap with brown specs. Pau Ferro butt sleeve, thick BEM maple ring bordered with the traditional SW rings. "Cactus" joint pin numbered 96 414. Nice reddish-brown phenolic butt cap and joint collars.
Shaft 1: Original South West, 12mm, 3.68 oz., Ivory ferrule
Shaft 2: Original South West, 12.9mm, 4.0 oz., Ivory ferrule
Shaft 3: Saito shaft, with matching South West ringwork, 12.9mm, 3.98 oz., Phenolic ferrule. I don't know who "Saito" is, or was, but the shaft is very well made, with matching rings, and plays just fine.
The smaller shaft has been the most used, and the other 2 are relatively fresh.
This cue is in super condition, especially considering its age, so it does have a few tiny imperfections here & there that you can't really see, but they can be felt if you run your hand over the cue. A couple of very small mars on the butt sleeve, which you can see in one of the photos. These imperfections are very few, and very minor, but I mention them as full disclosure.
This cue is straight with all 3 shafts, and plays as solid as any South West. The balance point depends on the shaft, from 18 3/8 to 18 3/4 from end of butt (not counting bumper).
