I just found this:

Can it be true?
If so I am sure it will fetch quite an amount. Or am I wrong?

Never seen any JP like this. You can PM the seller for more detail

I have done that out of curiousity.
But I thought the more knowledgable guys here will know if it can be true.

The cue looks pretty decent actually. Tho a square badge aint my favourite thing.

Looks like some lucky bugger has got it already!! Well that wasn't for sale for very long guys was it?

I think somebody was willing to pay >1200 GBP.
And I am quite sure the cue will not remain in UK or Europe...

Chatlag, I have only seen one H&O'b with the rectangular plaque shown in your avatar just now. Were many made and do you know the history of the one you show?

I also had never seen one before the preious owner offered me the cue. He bought it at Hun&O'Byrne during the 80ies and had it since then.
Honestly, the cue is nice but not the ultimate () piece of craftsmanship. Macassar butt, thin green, thick maple and thin green veneer with an ebony top splice. Nice shaft with four chevrons on front.
Good playing cue, not that ultra stiff like many Hunt & O'Byrne cues.
I asked a few people before I bought it and they told me it is from the first series of Hunt&O'Byrne. All of them told me that they have seen maybe one or two so far and that the cues is very rare.
But I will ask Will Hunt when I visit their workshop next time.

Maybe is for someone to add another old classic cue to his own collection

What makes you think it was that high ? did you make a similar offer ??

I wish i could have afforded it - looked nice - and i prefer the rectangular badge

No, I did not made an offer. But I know the price for such a cue...
