You are looking at a hoppe cue that Barry delivered to me on 8/1/12. It was completed on 7/30/12. The cue has 54 18kt gold (all the dots in the cue are 18kt gold) and Ivory inlays below the wrap and another 16 in the points, for a total of 70. The cue also has 8 more pieces of Ivory in the Bushka ring. The cue is the first cue that Barry has ever made with ivory rings at the joint and with veneers on either side of the Hoppe ring. Also, it is the first cue that Barry has ever put gold dots in the Hoppe ring. The joint protectors for the shafts are solid ivory, exccept for the screws.

The handle section and ebony in the sleeve is from Gus' old stock. One of the three shafts was made from Gus' old shaft wood.
