bulletCondition:
bulletThis cue is in superb condition considering it's age. The finish which is original is showing some signs of minor lifting at the ring work and a couple points on the Forearm and the Diamonds on the butt sleeve but you've got to look REALLY CLOSE to see it.
bulletThe original shaft shows very minor bluing (it was kept VERY CLEAN by the original owner) and is also in excellent shape.
bulletComments:
bulletThe only thing that is not "original" on this cue is the wrap which IMHO makes it a truly unique, if not completely original cue. I candidly have never seen another Schuler like this one (even before I had the original, worn tan Irish Linen wrap replaced). BTW....the Crocodile Skin feels great to shoot with...much softer than you would expect considering the animal that it came from!
bulletThe Custom Snakewood Joint Protectors that were made especially for this cue by J.W. Petree (see joint picture above) will be included in the deal.
bulletIf you are a Schuler fan, and are looking for something that NO-ONE else has, this is the one!
