Any ideas? I'm thinking Joss, Schon, Scruggs. I don't have cue, it's for a friend.

I saw that one on ebay. Really interested to see what people have to say about it. My sense was import, but looking at the joint and rings not sure. I know I have seen inlays like on the buttsleeve, but can't place them now.......thinking a characteristic Schon design maybe .....but if it were I would expect the auction would have ended much higher as there are a lot of Schon aficionados around....

Color reversed butt sleeve copy of a Schon. Most likely only an import would copy their design that closely.

How do you know that, who made it? Do you know it's age?

I zoomed in on the ebay listing and it is quite noticeable. It also appears to have a press in bumper. After looking at cues for a number of years, one learns what to look for. My vote is Players. They made Meucci copies for a bit. A 5/16x18 pin removes quite a few quality cue makers. Then look at the pilot. Joss uses a small pilot, Schon uses a phenolic sleeved pilot, Scruggs, I don't recall, though I think he used a wooden sleeve. The buttsleeve style is consistent with a high end JW, butt the there would be a clear distinction between inlay materials. What it does have going for it is a nice forearm.

The wrap looks like standard import crap from the 80's too


This is roughly what the buttsleeve is copying.

Sent my early 80's ultra rare 1 of 1 Runde era Schon to the Pete's to do a litte TLC... Shafts are now perfect and the fit perfect as well. The wrap is now perfect also. The whole cue is just a stellar collectible that hits REAL nice.... They're one of a very select few I would trust to work on...

I just asked the seller to send me a photo of what it looks like under the bumper. My guess is no bolt or a large phillips head bolt.
 
Sellers response


Well...I don't know how to take it off and I really don't want to damage it now that people have bid on it. So I am not comfortable doing anything to it that may alter it in any way. My apologies that I can't fulfill your request.​

 
Great info and writeup PDX. Thanks to you and all the great people on AZB that share what they know.
