Widowmaker cues w/ extension

Back in the 90s when Bert was selling Hearn's Widowmakers, he had quite a few with the extensions built into the butt of the cues. I never got around to buying one that had it but always meant to grab one. I contacted Bert a few months ago to see if he knew where one could be found and he did not. I know he sold quite a few of them back in the day. I'd like to find and buy/trade for one if I can find someone who has one. I figure since 95% of the pool world has switched over to the 7' tables, perhaps a current owner of one of these cues will consider parting with their's if the deal is right. I have no plans to switch to the little tables and could really use the extra reach. I will not pay to have my cues modified by someone using Greg's idea. I have three Widowmaker cues without the extension and am up for a trade for one of mine with cash on either end to equate the values.
I'm sure some of Bert's videos show him playing with one if you haven't seen one of these cues.
Anyone know someone with one of these cues?
 
I heard the same thing , So went out and have one made. By a local cue maker in Nc . Send me a email address I'll show it to you .it is for sale.
 
Thanks for the offer. I know others began making the extensions after Greg's were out there. I really prefer the hit of the old Widowmakers and want to buy one off someone who perhaps plays on the baby tables now and doesn't need tbe extra reach. If I can't find one I will have one of mine modified.
Thanks anyway.
 
I saw something very similar to what you are describing on Ebay yesterday. Had a metal rod in the butt. Looked like what Bert was selling as memory serves.
 
Thanks for the link. I'm really only interested in the Widowmakers though. If I can't find one I will have one of mine modified. Thanks for keeping your eyes open for me.
 
I received this email from the Ebay seller:

"Yes the cue maker is Nat Green. He is the owner of South East Cues in Clarksville Tn."
 
Bumping this thread because I'd like to have another cue like this.
Please PM me if you have/know of an old Widowmaker cue with the built in extension made by Hearns.

Thanks!

Sorry, I guess I originally posted this in the wrong section. Any mods want to move it that would be great.
