This cue is one purchased by a friend about 30 years ago, to his recollection. There are no identifying brand marks, so I'm seeking any assistance in determining who might have crafted it.
I am no expert in woods, but it appears that the two principally used are birdseye maple and cocobolo, though I'm certain that the lighter wood in the butt sleeve isn't something different.
The one component that I'm hoping someone might recognize as unique to a craftshop (or at least to narrow it down) is the joint pin, which comes to a point rather than being rounded.
Even if there is no light to be shed, I still thought it worthwhile to share as it's a gorgeous cue and in nearly perfect condition after 30(ish) years (though the past 20 it's been stored dormant in its case).
I've never seen this type of joint pin used before, hoping someone might recognize it?
