   This is an Adam Helmstetter 98-8 pool cue from the Helmstetter 98 series (circa 1998).

   It retailed at an MSRP of $350 USD, but could be purchased brand new at online billiard suppliers like Billiard Warehouse and others for $245 USD.

   Here's the catalog description of the Helmstetter 98-8 pool cue:

   Smoke-stained maple forearm, three long ebony points with a pearlized plastic dot in each alternating with three short ebony points with a pearlized plastic dot in each, ebony butt sleeve with six stylized smoke-stained maple windows inlaid with three ebony dots each set between rows of six pearlized plastic dots above and below.

   The "XIX" is a date code (representing the month and year of it's completion). It's a flawed system for representing the date of the production run.

   In this case it would be 10th month of 1999, I believe.

   As proof of ID, here's an image of the same cue which still has the model number sticker.
