The Baltimore Bullet

[jayman]

Does anyone have any idea who made the cue James James Coburn played with in The Baltimore Bullet? not a great picture, but it's best I could do from an old VHS movie.

Good question. Coincidentally, Mike Lambros ran with and knew the real Baltimore Bullet, Buddy Dennis, very well, but I believe the movie was made prior to his entering the cue making art.

The forearm looks like a rosewood with bars and ball tips staggered hi/low... I would guess Joss...

What I really find interesting is what looks like a segmented Ivory handled Gina used by Omar Sherif (in the center of the group photo next to Ernies famous Silver cue)

I was told over 25 years ago the Coburn cue,along with other used by Mizerak and Rempe in that movie were all made by Bill McDaniel. Tommy D.
