But I don't consider that conclusive. I have seen old Tad cues that don't look like Tad, not fancy like this though. And we have all seen cases where an old cue didn't look like a certain maker and people said it definitely was not, but turned out to be their work verified by the maker.
I definitely have my doubts on this one.
Another observation, the pilots on those two shafts are not identical, suggesting one is not original to the cue.
I did run into this in an image search, the same cue, but it opens a strange foreign page that seems to be broken. It's a website out of Spain, looks like a clothier.
