Is my Dave Coutts cue authentic?

[lordknows]

I recently bought a Dave Coutts cue from a dealer, but I found it's badge is different from those illustrated in Coutts Cue website. It looks like the one in middle, but the letters of 'DAVE COUTTS' is NOT in red, but in green. I saw some pictures on internet, very limited amount, and found green badges usually come with individual number at the bottom line, replaced the position of 'Lincoln'. Could anybody verify if Coutts cue uses such kind of green badge? Thanks a lot!

I have seen many many Coutts cues with a green badge :snooker:

Without individual number? The bottom says 'LINCOLN ENGLAND'?

I suspect I won't get response because I sent 2 mails about ordering a cue in April or May, but did not get any reply.

Lol i think thats just the name Dave uses on here, don't think his wife chats to us
ps i too have seen plenty of green badged cues (on this forum) without the numbers on. I think the numbers have only appeared recently

He also has other companies (e.g. Peradon) made some cues for him which he badges as "Made for Dave Coutts".

Have a look at his website, specifically "Badges" you will see that he has a range of badges and it explains that the colour has no significance other than to match the splicing.

But if you are still uncertain, as mentioned before, send them a photo.
all the best

Just went to Dave's web site. His cues look really nice.
