How to Identify an Old Pool Cue?

Is anyone able to give me some kind of identification on this old pool cue?

It belonged to a family member and was passed down.

Thanks in advance!

    Some will jump to the conclusion it was made by Abe Rich but in my opinion, it is more likely a product of Sol Rich and the RICH-Q line made in Long Island, NY.

    In nice condition, the cue may carry a value of $150 to someone interested in Rich cues.

    This cue is a cheaper import cue.

    It is neither a Rich-Q by Sol Rich nor an Abe Rich cue.

    This cue is in the Rich-Q catalog. I believe it is the Rich-Q "Cobra" model.

    The Rich-Q Cobra models don't match the butt sleeve design on the cue pictured above.

    It is close to a model E from that same catalog, but substantially different enough to rule out those few models, at least.

    @billiardsforum, you are 100% correct.

    The cue pictured above is a cheap import production cue. In fact, pictures of the identical style cue has been going around various billiard forums posts for years.

    This is 100% an import cue. The forearm gives it away. The veneers and points scream it out loud.

    Good points. I may of jumped in too soon and also may need glasses.

    I have this exact cue, it's a hustler cue from the 80's
