That's a damn nice Corsair, and I'm a Corsair fan. IMHO they are some of the best playing cues around, very underestimated and have been for years.
If you could post pics of the bottom with the buttcap removed, it could confirm if it was made by Hank. If you remove the allen screw holding on the buttcap, there should be some writing underneath. You can email what it says to Roger Korsiak at Corsair cues and he'll be able to tell you the year that the cue was made, and which one of the Korsiaks made it. Judging by the dash marks on either side of Corsair I would say it was made when the dad Hank, was still alive, he passed away in 1992 I believe it was. Most cues made after he passed away have a dot on either side of Corsair (I say MOST..I think there were a few that slipped out with the dash marks after Hank passed).
Hank had three sons that also made cues alongside him in the shop from the late 70s until the early 90s. Roger, Ken, and ...I can't remember the third ones name
Just about all the cues from that time period (which is where I'm guessing yours is from) have the markings under the butt cap. They will tell you for sure who made it and when. Roger of course is still in the cue business and doing well as far as I know. I believe his website is

Nice cue... I'd be interested in knowing what you are asking, send me a PM if you choose to not publish the price. Also, are those the original shafts? I'd be interested in seeing detail pics of the joint and shafts without the joint protectors on. It appears in the pics that the butt rings are quite a bit darker than the shaft rings, but that may just be the lighting.
Thanks,
. Now it's open to any cash/trade offer. Maybe someone can tell me the reasonable price of this cue. Thanks. Ben
