Well, it is an Adam cue, but I can't find the model in any of my catalogs.
Do you have any info on where you got it, how old it might be, etc.? That can help narrow the search and point me in the direction of where to look next.

Thanks for the time you devoted in looking in your catalogs. I bought it in Greece in 2000 plus/minus 2 years.

And here is the joint-type on your cue, from a 1980s Adam catalog. There is no other info besides this graphic:
Adam flat-faced wood-wood implex joint.

I sent a message to Adam Japan co.,ltd and they said that because the cue is very old they will search it and contact me. If you would like I can let you know of their "verdict".

They answered that the cue model is Julio Stamboulini No.2

You know what, I looked at those but in the catalog they don't show the Adam logo on the forearm, so I didn't think it was match. Thanks again for confirming it!
Here is the catalog page in case you don't have it:
Adam Julio Stamboulini Cue Catalog - Julio 1 - Julio 3

I guess they were wrong cause mine seems like the Julio 3 not Julio 2.Thanks for all the help!

To me, yours matches the Julio 2 - the Julio 3 is a much darker brown stain. I can tell because in your pic, you can tell the difference between the redish-wood on the butt-sleeve and the darker wood surrounding the inlay ring... and the Julio 2 seems to have that same difference. But in the Julio 3, the stain is seamless and it seems to match uniformly.

Mine has a white linen wrap so it's the third. Because I used flash in pics I took it seems a bit lighter in color.
