I have access to a "1st Edition" Predator 314-5 that is for sale. I have it here at my home storing it for the owner. The cue is basically still like new with 2 shafts. The cue/shafts were only test hit with or maybe a couple of games shot with them at most. The shafts have no logos or "314" marked on them. I believe this was the very first run of these shafts?
The only issue I know of with the cue is that you can slightly "feel" where the edges of the rings and one of the inlays are, I think this is common with very old cues that have never been refinished? The cue/shafts have been stored in a case since it was new back in the mid 90's. The owner was a former bar owner who sold some of the very first Predator cues and this cue was given to him by the Predator people as a thank you for selling a few dozen of the Predator cues when they first hit the market.
The owner wants $900.00 OBO for the cue.
Let me know if you have any interest in it.

BTW ......... I (he) also have (has) a 1996 series Predator 314-4 that is in immaculate shape with 2 shafts, one of the shafts has never been chalked, it has a "314" marking on it, and the other that was played with has no logos or markings on it like the 2 shafts that came with the 1st Edition 314-5. This cue was also given to him by the Predator people a year after they gave him the 314-5 First Edition. I believe he wants $600-$700 for it I, but but I'll have to double check with him.
