Meucci Rifleman Cue
TLowery643
Can anyone give me info on theMeucci Rifleman cue. Found one at a pawn shop
with two shafts. It has an open wrap. Is this a rewrap or did these come with
open wraps. How old is the cue and what is the values of this cue...How much is
the cue worth in mint condition on down to fair condition?
Thanks

I'll give Meucci a call tomorrow and see what they say on the age of the cue.
I don't remember ever seeing this cue in any of the catalogs back to 1982. It
may be a promo or somthing of that sort.

Probably original wrap, Meucci has always offered either coated or open, not
sure of exct value but I know from sending a Buddy Hall series cue in for a new
butt some time ago that they cannot replicate the rifleman because the stamp
for the butt has been lost or destroyed, I sold the Buddy Hall for $450.00 and
woul expect the rileman to be worth more than that . Of course that is if you
can find a motivated buyer.
Meucci can answer questions at 1-800-meucci.

Tommy,
There were only two Rifleman cues made, I believe. One was flawed, the
other was Buddy Halls personal cue. It had a silver bullet going through
the black and white targets at the end of the points and inlaid rifles
below the wrap. I couldn't give you a value, but Jim Rempe's original
"Crown Jewel" sold for $22,000 and later resold to a Japanese Business
man for $88,000. Jim Rempe's Tajmahal sold for more. If I were you, I
would contact someone with overseas connections, like Cue Stix and
contact Buddy Hall to verify his ownership.

One that is Irish linen (or similar) and is not varnished over. Most
Meuccis that are wrapped with Irish linen are then varnished, I think.
(Well, I guess it's really polyurethane, or something.)

Correct on the type of finish Bob. It is a fire proof urethane. LOL....I
know of a few people that will see an irony there....but I'm not gonna get into
it.

Ha Ha, that's a gas. It may be fire proof, but the wrap is covered , in MY
opinion (let's make that clear now) to save from having to coat in steps.
Time is money, so by putting on the wrap, and then coating the whole thing,
several steps are saved, and this results in a less expensive product. It
may also give the appearance of a wrap, and the feel of a non-wrapped cue.
I'm not sure about this because I have seen but not shot with these cues.

Can you give a better description of the cue. How many points, type of
inlays, etc. Leonard Bludworth made a Buddy Hall series cue for a few
years. I think he offered four different styles but I can't remember if
he called it a Rifleman.
I own two of the Meucci Original Cues, the Jim Rempe, Buddy Hall. These
cues were offered in a couple different styles. I think there were six
named cues. Mike Siegal, Lori Jon Jones, Kim Davenport and another that
I don't know. If anyone knows where I can get the rest I would like to
see about buying them all if the price is right.

Do you also collect Bic Lighters?

Actually...I don't remember if there was ever really a Mike Sigel line. The
catalogs that I have are from the very early 80's and have he following
players. Jim Rempe, Lori Jon Jones, Larry Hubbart, David Howard and a series of
jump cues under the Sammy Jones line. This spans quite a few years, but I may
be mising a few players and catalogs.

I saw a cue not too long ago. I believe it was a Meucci with Mike
Sigel's signature on the forearm.

Ron,
The only cues that I remember with Mikes name on the forearm were 2 lines of
cues made by Joss East. One line did not bear the Joss name, but had the same
construction, although I believe that they were made oversea's. The other line
was the Joss Professional line in the early 90's. These bore either Mikes
signiture or that of Nick Varner. I could be wrong here though...I don't deal
with Meucci alot.
