Southwest cue pin question

[measureman]

A guy at the room showed me a cue he said was a real Southwest.
It looked like a real one but I know there have been copies made.
It had a brass pin but no Cactus or number on it.
??????????????????????????

Old ones had neither afaik. Started in '93.

I got a Southwest from 1987. No cactus. No brass either.

All recent satins are still made without logo or number on the pin too.

Does anyone have or heard of a cue from the South West shop, with documentation from Laurie, with something besides a brass pin? Pics please.

I suppose anything is possible. But the only likely way an actual SW with documentation would have anything besides their standard pin would be if the pin was replaced after the documentation was obtained. And I can't think of a single good or acceptable reason to do that unless the pin was damaged, which leads me to this: I wouldn't touch a SW that had anything other than their pin.

Thank you for correction. I put the horse in front of the cart there about that pin. Cue is definitely real. It's been back for shafts and I personally met Franklins at their shop in Vegas.
