Anyone know what this Walter Lindrum cue is worth?

[lovelife82]

Hi I have been offered this cue which is a one piece but I will be getting it made into a 2 piece but I dont really know much about the cue or price I have been offered, could you give me some advice on the price I should expect to pay for it?

Thanks Amanda

If it's the usual machine spliced version, they sell for anything between £40 and £80 ish, that one looks good condition from what we can see If you get it jointed you will wreck the value tho, so only do it if it's going to be a good playing cue

Hi thanks, by the pictures is it not hand spliced? Can you confirm that by the pictures? If yes then what would the hand spliced be worth?

Thanks Amanda

Hi I am not sure why they are not showing now, what about these ones can you see them below? Also I have been advised that Walter Lindrum Champion cues were not made hand spliced so looks like this is a fake?

[ADR147]

well it's a simple problem the badge is not from the cue the cue i think is a cannon match.

[ADR147]

the are handmade walter lindrum cues but not this one - that badge is from a cheap cue but the cue itself looks decent.

think you could be right there andrew but theres a few others with this kind of burr as a front splice int there

[lovelife82]

What do you both mean? Sorry I am not too clued up on this. Is the cue worth £140? Thats what the seller is asking for it and he states its a Walet Lindrum cue.

[jim evans]

not sure what it is but not a lindrum so ask bloke who altered it first,and ask what original badge was

[lovelife82]

Thats the problem, he is stating it is a Walter Lindrum Champion cue. I think I will leave the cue as I dont want to pay £140 incase it is not worth that price.

Thanks for you help guys Amanda

if its a old cannon it worth it ,if its a player

Bear in mind any hand spliced old cue you do buy will be worth a huge amount less when you chop it up anyway! If you did find one around the £140 mark, I wouldn't think it'd be worth more then £70 when you reduced it to sawdust.
