I was presently surprised when I picked it up, it was in far better condition than it looked in the pictures. Barring a new ferrule and a slight refinish it's perfect. Also a few had commented on other thread about the ebony not being great quality. Now that I have the cue in my hands I'm pretty sure that the ebony is streaky ebony rather than poor quality gaboon.

    It also came with an aluminium case which I think is the original one from the 80's

    Spec ended up being:
    10mm ferrule
    29.5mm butt
    58" long
    18"bp
    17.3 oz

    Hi mate, I'm the one who willing to pay £100 more than your offer for the cue, but when the seller relisted it, I didn't know he accepted the offer so soon without noticed me. I did offer him in the first auction after you. Anyway good win on the sales, post more pictures after it is refinisned.
    P.S I was surprised when the seller accepted your offer, it's really what I call a bargain, cheers.

    He did say say he got quite a few offers, particularly from abroad but he wasn't keen to post. One thing I can say though I couldn't believe he accepted my offer!!

    Yes it's a cocobola front splice, the cue plays totally fine, but i think it's too light for me and the round butt drove me crazy !! constantly had to look at the butt to find the badge position, or keep spinning the cue around until i found the chevrons !!!

    The cue didn't come with a badge mate, i had Tony Glover make me one and he copied the badge from the extensions
