I talked to the ower and he paid hkd7000 for it 2-3 years ago. He trusted the shop fully and have no idea what he brought. As far as I know and can research from internet , there should be quite a few similar cues sold in HK............a bad player who love cuesComment

That's £536 in our money, from the price he should of known it was not an original one as they go for far higher (for some reason)Originally Posted by desso View PostComment

Does the certificate look the same as a genuine one (apart from the 2012 date)?My favourite players: Walter Lindrum (AUS), Neil Robertson (AUS), Eddie Charlton (AUS), Robby Foldvari (AUS), Vinnie Calabrese (AUS), Jimmy White, Stephen Hendry, Alex Higgins, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Dominic Dale and Barry Hawkins.
I dream of a 147 (but would be happy with a 100)

I have no idea how the orginal look, you can see the 2012 version from my link:-)Originally Posted by mythman69 View Posta bad player who love cuesComment

Not really, the company name was bought and new cues produced, but people get confused and think they are buying original cues made by Will Hunt, but they are not, so not really fake but very misleading to say the least !!Originally Posted by pcms View PostComment

well there you go...
Not a fake as the company is the official Hunt & O'Byrne company with the rights to that name now.
JUST that Will Hunt or O'Byrne have no connection to this new company.
Just like Rolls Royce cars are no longer owned or built by either the Rolls or Royce families. But they are not fake cars.
Not sure about the certificate being any thing like the certificates that Hunt & O'Byrne issued - if they ever did, ?
Very different from Hunt & Osborne or Osborne certificates though.
I think the red stamp and "hawk" logo is very distinctive for the new company.
Anyone have an example of an OLD H&Ob certificate?
Interesting that the certificate has Est.d 1984, I assume that is when the Will Hunt & J. O'Byrne established their partnership and this company have bought the rights to the original name and can claim that est'd date. ?
Anyone know when exactly H&Ob stopped trading as a company?
