This is a Viking Q1 cue, and per Viking, had a rosewood forearm with six white bordered stained bird's-eye maple inlays between points, six floating white bordered stained bird's-eye maple points, rosewood butt sleeve with six large white bordered stained bird's-eye maple intricate oval shaped inlays alternating with six white bordered stained bird's-eye maple inlays set in round windows hollowed out of the ovals. Scrimshawed ring work in the joint and butt end area.
The Viking Q1 was in production from 1996-1999 and retailed for $2,000. The cost to make this cue today would be in the $2,200 - $2,300 range.
Viking says they are "not sure how many of this model were sold."Click the images for a larger, more detailed photo. |
This is a Viking A800, which I'm unsure of when it was produced, how many were made, or any other details, really.
Technically an 8-point cue, it has 4 points inside of 4 points, and features intricate scrimshawed ivory.
I've found one for sale from someone fairly local to me, and I'm considering purchasing it. Not sure if it would be a player, or an investment cue.
