ID Pool Cue with Wrap that Says "Hollander Hides USA"

I am looking to figure out what the maker of this pool cue is.

There are no makers marks anywhere.

The wrap says "Hollander Hides USA" but I believe that's who made the wrap itself and not the cue.

Someone told me it may be an Adams D2 cue but the one he showed me had the makers mark on it.

Any ideas what brand pool cue it might be?

   I'm 99.9% sure it's an Adam pool cue (not "Adams" with an "s" as you mentioned).

   Here's why:

   • I've seen a bunch of other Adam cues from this same era with leather wraps from Hollander Hides USA.
   • Joint style matches from the options that were available on cues from this era and series.
   • Adam cues from that era and series often do not carry the traditional Adam logo we're used to seeing today (or any logo for that matter). It would have had only 3 stickers on the butt cap when it was new. One that said it was made in Japan, one that had the cue's weight, and one that had the model number (see below photo).

   You have an Adam M/A-12 cue a.k.a. Adam M/A-12 "Billy the Kid" cue from the Adam "Bandits" series. Cues from that line were named after well-known gangsters of past. The cue that is photographed in their brochures was in blue, but the green was also common.
