billiardsforum on 2/5/2024 9:13:48 AMI am afraid the only info I have is what has been posted on the other thread which you have already commented on.
There were two answers:
Its an Action pool cue.
Pay close attention to the letter A in the word "Action" on the cues that have it spelled out fully in the logo. It's stylized in the same way.
...and:
These cues with the "A" logo are overseas cues that are not supposed to be in the United States.
There are very few of these cues in the states.
I've still been unable to verify either of those claims, and the users posting those answers have not replied to my requests for more info.

I just purchased a cue with same letter "A" logo from a local shop that had several. I was told the were made by Wesley Bond just prior to his founding of KODA Sports.
Could you assist in verifying this?

@mitch2121 - Thank you for that info!
I don't have (and couldn't find) any supporting evidence, though I have no reason to doubt what you've been told.
Thanks @billiardsforum,
The local dealer is RG Billiards in Birmingham, AL. They are very reputable. He has three more of these cues for sale. All are used and were refurbished from the maker. The guy there is very knowledgeable and would likely be willing to discuss with anyone that called. He has them labeled as "Crown-A" cues, but I'm pretty confident that isn't an official designation.
I was close but not correct in the information I provided before. Below is a copy, word for word, of an email response from Wes Bond regarding these particular cues. I hope this helps others in the future when trying to identify them:
That’s not true. They were factory 2nd’s from the same factory that makes cues for Cue & Case and Koda. These were brought in under Koda, not before Koda. They’re good cues though. There’s a lot of different variations but all were good quality in general. I never made cues but I do import them.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

That kind of makes sense actually, since "Action Cues" are, I think, primarily a Cue & Case Sales brand.
Either way, big cheers for sharing the info that you've received, I very much appreciate it!

I purchased same brand cue from RG billiards as well. I love it!
Nice! I’m considering grabbing another one….
In a follow up email, Wes stated that none of the cues in question are from a particular brand. So they aren’t all specifically from Action, Predator, Lucasi, Cuetec, Players, etc. but they are all supposedly higher quality cues from respective manufacturers that came out as factory seconds.
The rings on mine look very much the same as those on Lucasi cues.
Glad you like your cue @CJones. Maybe one day when I actually get to where I can halfway play we can run a few games.
