Just picked this cue up. Found it on facebook with an extension and an aliminium barracuda match cue case for ?50. What a steal!
Looks to be one of the older, handmade ones from Telford, but I've only just started collecting cues so I wanted to check here and see what people have to say??
Nice straight grain down some parts of shaft, and some interesting chevrons & knots down other parts.
It certainly looks and feels older, but the badge differs slightly to other older models I've seen (no border round the text). It obviously looks hand-spliced too but there is wear on the base of butt which makes me think that the butt and/or the splices might be painted.
...Or perhaps I am just overthinking it. I've shown this in the photos.
Would be nice if it was a genuine handmade Lewis & Watson, but I am not too fussed if not because the case I got with it is nearly worth 50 on its own.
Currently using a really nice old Barracuda Gold Medal but doesnt quite feel right in my hand...might replace it qith this L&W cue if it is the genuine article and plays nicely too. I've read several reviews which suggest some of these L&W cues are top notch and easily comparible to a Parris cue.
Would be good to hear anyone's thoughts...?
