Its missing the butt so no markings. Maker is unknown. I know I've seen this butterfly before. I'm not sure if it's a Brunswick or not. I'm just trying to distinguish if it's a cheap import or if it's actually brunswick or some other known brand. Looks like it's from the war era but not sure

hate to sound like a broken record but imo its another asian, taiwan probably, import.

Is it worth turning down the butt and adding a shaft?

Import. Actually a lot of these were made in Italy. I think that one may have been.

There are worse ones. These usually have a nice full splice with perfectly even butterflies.

I can see the splices aren't even on that one.

It's worth it if you like it.

I have one with zebrawood. Perfect splices. I intend to have a cue maker make me a cue with it.

I paid $75 for it

It's a cheap import. 100%
Not Brunswick or any other US maker.
War era? More like 70s or 80s.

That's a bit stiff.
