Id Old Helmstetter Cue with "IV" Roman Numerals

Could anybody help me to identify this vintage Helmstetter cue?

I've bought this Helmstetter pool cue from a friend of mine but I can't find any info about it, can anyone help me?

I sent an email to McDermott sales but they have replied stating that isn't their cue since it has no logo in it.

All I know is that it has this little roman numeral "IV" mark in the butt sleeve and something written in the middle.

    What was it that prompted you to email McDermott? I don't see anything at all indicating that it's one of their cues.

    It would be a Helmstetter cue (based on the Helmstetter signature print on the forearm).

    See this previous question:

    I don't have any supporting documentation on this cue model, as I can't locate it in my archives. I'll continue to keep an eye out.

    I can identify this model as the Helmstetter 97-4 pool cue from the Helmstetter 97 series, circa 1997.

    The roman numerals form a date code representing the month and year of the date of completion of this cue.

    Retail at the time was $224 USD at most online retailers.

    Helmstetter pool cue with a birdseye maple forearm with four rosewood points. The butt rosewood with double nickel silver rings surrounded by two thick maple rings. The wrap is black with white spec irish linen. There are three sets of nickel silver trim rings. The joint is 5/16 x 14 piloted stainless steel. This pool cue comes with one shaft with a 13 mm pro taper.
