Yeah, they are nice.

Never seen that B&W design, it must be quite old

the design of a single wood splice on top of the thick paler wood as a "veneer" was used on many cues over the years, back in the day,
but I think the B&W Champion was what JP was thinking of when he designed the Traditional model in the mid-90s
only my opinion

see cues Q, R, and S in this selection - B&W Champs with various woods, but the same design

ROS has Ultimate cues with the 'Traditional' design of splicing which came from the old B&W Champion cue designs
Plain ebony butts can be Classic or Ambassador models.
Special cues can be plain or any design you want on the ebony or rosewood butt
As well Paragon and Ultimate can be plain butts as well. Your choice, pay the money

If I am not mistaken, all traditional cues come in ROS design. Do they do plain ebony too?

No, I think the guy is meaning classic ebony design.

I think he is using the 'Traditional' word to attract buyers attention

A traditional that's actually a special...the second pic looks a bit odd with that line under the badge, could be a shadow i suppose.

I think it is the shadow that you can see on the carpet as well.

Sounds like an exciting cue

At 53 inches, either China or Hobbiton

Well someone bought it, i'd expect to see it reappear with a longer butt in a few months.

Well I guess second hand cloth might be worth a couple of hundred quid, so that's one expensive post-it note.

[DeanH]

new cloth anyone?

An old badge style parris 3/4 jointed at 12" going by the pics. You can bet your plums this will be going to China.
