Three pointed cue info wanted

[Mikiemopa]

He says its an old Viking, which it does look like an early 80s. But it say Excalibur on the butt. Just curious what it is, I'm going to refinish and make a new shaft, maybe try and clean the wrap, haven't done that yet.

Without the name on it I think anybody would just accept that as a Viking.

Not sure what to say. Is it possible that some of the Excalibur cues were sourced through Viking?

Looks very similar to a b95, without the inlays.

 

[Chopdoc]

It even looks like it has the Viking push in mushroom bumper.


I flipped through some of Vikings old catalogs and have not seen that one yet. It looks so darn familiar though, and it really does look like a Viking.


We may come up with something here or...
Maybe contact Viking and ask?

In the late 80's and early 90's Viking made the Excalibur cues and a few other private lines for other companies.
So yes Viking made it.

 

[Mikiemopa]

Is it normal for these cues to be short, the butt and shaft are both 3/4in short.

They were standard 57 inches back then

Look familiar? Another Viking! Almost exactly the same cue.

And this guy said:

I called Joss West and talked to Dan to verify its authenticity and he confirmed it was his.

It's one thing to be mistaken, another to lie. :angry:
