I just saw this on ebay.

Looks a little suspect to me.

Looks Ok to me !! Badge is a big tell tale sign though , bidders seem happy enough !!!

Can't quite see , but the joint looks a little different to the usual H & O . But i could be wrong!

Cue is 100% genuine, I know this coz its mine , I bought it from h&o shop in the elephant & castle I think about 1989/ 1990
It was there off the rack range, I couldn't be bothered to wait for 1 to be made to order
So don't waste any time and get bidding , it's a dam fine cue in pristine condition
It's not been used for about 15 years , stored away in a 1 piece aluminium case

Been having a chat with ADR 147 and apparently its made by gary drage from aeon cues as you say back in the 80's. Not actually a H&O cue at all. I have bought it on Ebay so will see what the future holds for it. You wouldnt have any paperwork with it by any chance Karl?

... Not actually a H&O cue at all. ...

Thing is they were sold as H&O so that's what it is lol, i wouldn't worry too much, looks like a nice cue.
Cues are made by lots of people and badged otherwise

Should have said "Not actually a H&O made cue at all"

If he went into a cue shop and bought it badged as a H&O, how would he know it was not actually made by them ??? i'm assuming they wouldn't tell you that ???

[biggus stickus]

Probably not but it is still not made by them, just re badged.
