Who Made This Cue?

Does this cue have 6 or 8 points?

It does have alot of -R- qualities, but then again many of his qualities are from classic styling.

It looks like it could be a Szamboti because of the ringwork, but that's been used by many cuemakers. I would still say it's an older cue.

I think Petersen is a good guess too...

Great looking cue by any means!
 
As Rare As It Gets

WELL FOLKS, IT'S A ONE OWNER ULTRA RARE VENEERED 8 POINT
GUS SZAMBOTI. BOUGHT BACK IN 77/78. IT'S THE RAREST GUS VARIATION THAT THERE IS. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, PURCHASE PRICE FROM GUS WAS $185.00

IT IS FOR SALE, BUT FOR CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL PRICE TAG. I NEED TO HAVE CONFIRMATION FROM A BUYER BY SATAURDAY, IF THEY WANT THE CUE, OR IT'S GOING AWAY AGAIN FOR A LONG TIME, PROBABLY TO NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN. SERIOUS BUYERS CAN FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION, AND IF WE CAN GET A GROUP OF GUYS TOGETHER TO BUY STOCK IN THIS CUE, I THINK IT WOULD BE A WISE INVESTMENT.

P.S. YES IT HAS BEEN FULLY VERIFIED BY BARRY. IT WAS IN HIS SHOP LAST WEEKEND.

P.S.S. FOR OU GUYS THAT KNEW THE BUMPER DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT, GOOD JOB. WHEN THE CUE WAS REFINISHED THE ORIGINAL BUMPER WAS LOST.

how do you figure?? you guessed Bob Runde, which incidentally Bob wasn't even in my thoughts. looked nothing like his prong work to me at all. the only reason i didn't really "commit" to my guess was because of the bumper. that sort of splice and 3 inch sleeve could have been done by so many as well them copy the classic joint collar design from G.S and B.S. if i knew the cue didn't have an original bumper than i would have committed to G.S. without hesitation cause it's pretty common for other makers to get certain aspects of their "inspiration" close but be so far off on others. .....anyway you can have the accolades if you think you deserve them...........

skins ------------- wishes his post was one post earlier............:)
