Anybody know what this badge is ??

[old school]

Since Kev retired NW cues have done well . The last one I bid on like your friends was ash not maple and had one front splice , went for around £92 + postage. Your friends cue , without knowing the full spec , I would expect £100- £150 , possibly closer to £200 if two people really want it.Dean I have sent j.pegs to your e-mail account , hope they come through , feel free to post on the forum.

It's NOT a North West badge if you were to ask me. I recognised the rose emblem instantly from the close-up picture and so I dug out my old cue which I no longer use, It was bought for me back in 1999 for my 30th birthday and yes it's identical. I was trying to find out some information on the cue last year and although I knew it was a Cuecraft cue I didn't know what the model was, I bought it from Alliance snooker in Liverpool who have never stocked North West cues to my knowledge. It was top end in the Cuecraft range as it cost about £150 back then.

Hmm well if you read the posts it has been confirmed by the maker that it is North West

Definitely a north west my mate uses one with same badge

Nothing to stop more than one maker using the red rose emblem as doubt its copyrighted.

Cue Craft did use a red rose on one of their badges but the badge did not have the "pie-crust" edging to it. And theirs also did not have "North West Cues" written on it, I shall have a look around as I am sure I have an image of the Cue Craft badge

The badge on my cuecraft isnt red but I think I know what you are talkiing about...the one i'm talking about on my cue is identical ( black/gold) with a silver trim as pictured in a previous post. If I get the time I will try to upload a picture of it but don't hold your breath as I've never done that before

Definitely NOT necessarily an original North West cue. I have infinite knowledge of North West cues originally derived of the Barracuda brand. Kevin Muncaster used the badge early in his development of North West cues and this usage was expanded to cover a large number of cheaper cues ( Even club style cheapies) There are many hundreds of them in the market particularly in the south of the country. F.:snooker: The original main distributor of Roger Bucknal's Barracuda cues, Ed Mcgraths subsequent Barracuda cues and many others.

Well I agree with this and have seen them on North west cues so - not sure if others used the same badge but never seen the same badge on any other cue - you obviously have though so I stand corrected

sorry Byrom, I think I may have misled you, I was saying that CueCraft did a badge with a rose - not the exact same badge as we are discussing here.
Frank - you did mention when we met that you did some badging for Kevin when he first started out after Barracuda, so you say this badge appears on may other makes of cue, but did Kevin worked on those cues - hence the badge?

For business reasons upon which I will elucidate no further the golden rose cue badge whilst initiated in the early cues made by Kevin has actually been in constant use for some years. Both UK. made and imported cues carry the badge but to my knowledge all across a large price range are perfectly playable well made and of an acceptable quality. Regards to you and family and by the way I have looked out some magazines for you. F.

Anyone know the best way to attach a jpeg on here..file size is only 92kb after resizing, was originally 1.28mb as it came up with message saying files over 200kb too large?? It wont straight forward copy and paste into text, I've also tried sending it via insert image from the button bar but with no success.
