    I found this pool stick and case after a relative passed away and trying to identify the maker. Only marking/writing I noticed is “Made in Germany”. I had to use an eye piece to make that out.
    If i need to add more pictures or any info i will gladly provide it. I’ve posted on a few billiards sites and have not got any responses. I have all faith in TACOMAWORLD.

    I'm not a billiards guy but I do enjoy a good puzzle. Poking around online, take a look at the following page:

    https://billard-billiards.net/miscell.htm

    Use CTRL-F and do a page search for the word "golf" and go to the second instance. Not a lot of info on it but it does share a lot of similarities with your images.

    I don't think you can :) The website description says "The next one is in 3 parts and is very heavy (600 g., for 'billard-golf' in 1970-80). The German manufacturer Boetzel of butt 3 might have produced it."

    Here's the image directly below that sentence:

    The inlays seem to match, as well as the butt and the crosshatching around the shield inlay. There isn't much additional info about it.

    I believe (but don't know for sure) that it's part of the collection of the guy who did that website.

    Thanks for the info. Going to read and see if the person making the cue leaves any distinguishing marks to look for. Let me pull out the eye peice and carefully examine it again making sure i didn’t miss anything. Very similar like the i have.

    This also gives me some insight on who made it. I’ll start digging and possibly find a billiard shop to have looked into and to see if it’s worth anything
