Bludworth Pool Cue Identification
I won this stick from a family member and he was unsure what it was. It seems to be very well made and he thought it was a Bludworth pool cue but I'm not so sure it is.
I won it roughly 15 years ago, and I'm not sure how long he had it in his possession.

It is a Bludworth pool cue. Sometimes refered to as a "Bludworth Originals" pool cue (this was how they branded them back in the early 2000's. This one would have been made out of Quitman, TX... I believe.
Though I can't tell for sure based on the one image you uploaded, I believe the cue is a Bludworth Model #1 (of his original line of 12) - all on which, every aspect could be customized. The Bludworth Model 1 pool cue was the base model... with a retail price (in 1999) of $400 new. See the Bludworth Cues catalog page below (from the mid-to-late 1990's). Its the one to the far left (or a close variation).
Reach out to Leonard Bludworth if you want to be sure of the model and details.

Beautiful Bludworth cue. What value does he appraise it at?
- user1508989647 on 10/26/2017 11:32:33 AM
He said he remembers selling it in the early 1990s at around $1,800 and that it should bring somewhere around $3,200 to $3,600 today. This was around 6 months ago.
Donald really hurt the Bludworth name and the values of Bludworth pool cues were hurt as well as a result. If I sold it today, I would be looking at around $2,000.

Are you looking to sell the Bludworth cue stick?
- user1508989647 on 3/18/2018 7:14:08 PM
Yes, and I am asking $1800.
It comes with one original shaft, one extra custom shaft, and purple heart and ivory joint protectors.

FYI, I'm back to building cues.
