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 !!!

Genuine or not that cue is absolutely awful, you might as well stick BCE on the nameplate.

Picked this up yesterday after a 200 mile round trip, but I think it was worth it. This is the one that was listed on eBay in the past week, it didn't sell but the seller surprisingly accepted my offer. 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

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!!

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.

Yh, I was pretty happy tbh. I had spoken to him quite at length throughout the duration of the auction to try and find more info out about it. In the end I told him that i would be willing to make an offer if it didn't sell as the original price was too much of a risk with those pictures and the probable work that was required. My offer probably only ended up being £35 less than yours as we did the transaction privately so he could avoid the fees. It was a win win situation for me.

Yes, I told him I would deal privately and cover his cost on PayPal too, but you acted faster then me, because it was 5am in Hong Kong, there I missed the chance to buy a black plate Hunt cue I ever dreamed of. Anyway let me know if you're willing to sell the cue when the time came, all the best mate.
