ID Cue with Carvings, Inlaid Crests and Circles; Maybe a Sampaio Cue

Can anyone tell me what kind of pool stick this is?

I know nothing of them but from my research it looks like a Sampaio Premier pool cue.

It has carvings and inlaid white-ish circles and crest shapes.

I can't find any markings on it except for two little stickers on the bottom but they're faded out.

   A few notes:

   • If it were a Sampaio pool cue, it would likely have a "Sampaio" logo and in some cases, the words "Made in Portugal" stamped into the wood, somewhere in the forearm toward the joint end, like this one:
     
     It would also be stamped "Sampaio" on the shaft, also near the joint.

   • The photos you uploaded are blurry and don't show some key identifying features of the cue. You should share clear, well-lit, close-up photos of the rest of the pool cue. Include those faded stickers (as we can often determine a brand based on the shape and size alone), the butt cap, the joint pin and insert, etc.

   There are some low-quality Taiwanese knock-off versions out there which wouldn't have the Sampaio stamp anywhere, which would be more or less worthless as a serious pool cue.

   Here's a Sampaio Premier pool cue, showing the stamped logos:
