I'd say somewhere in that 375-500 range. Maybe a bit lower, maybe a bit higher. Those shafts were made for 1 year with that marking, think it was 1993.
 
I'm not sure what it is worth but if the Schon 13 is on the shaft at the joint, it is the diameter of the shaft, not the model number.

Nice looking Schon.

Right, the Schon 13 indicated the original diameter of the ferrule at the tip. Having it on the ring also dated the cue to 1993. The following is an excerpt from the 3rd Edition of the Blue Book of Pool Cues:

"In 1992, Bob Runde retired and Evan Clark took over cuemaking operations. In 1993, Evan saw some Schon shafts for sale that were adequate to deceive the unwitting buyer, so he started marking "Schon" on the shafts that same year. Shafts made in 1993 have "Schon" in gold lettering on the collar, and since then they have been vertically marked on the wood."
