Specifics:

This cue's construction is entirely handmade with truly 4 prong assembly and hand cut inlays; this type

of work is seldom seen in today's cue manufacturing. This work of art which was made by the world

famous Adam cue factory in Japan comes with Certificate of Authenticity with approximate facsimile script signature Willie Mosconi

Only the Finest Rosewood, Maple, and Mother of pearl, with its vermilion & MOP inlays and Irish linen wrap were used in making this cue, of which less than 40 were made, never to be made again!

===========================================================================

Used vintage 1970s Palmer "leather"* hard case with steel corners has 1B x 2S dividers lined in red velvet w/ no interior wear. The leather-looking *vinyl case-covering has no signs of damage or wear whatsoever! It is rare to find these 40+ year-old cases with the "Palmer de Luxe Case" silver embossing still intact! 

The nickle plated hinge & latch on the left side have some (5-10%) light rust and slight tarnishing/pitting of the surface, and about half the heads of the corner studs have minor rust, but all hardware is fully functional except for the lack of a latch key.
