A vasart/strathearn transitional weight I would say but I would err on the vasart side. The white canes in the middle are quite old formation of vasart.

me along with the single cane above the two cross style canes as thats what attracted me to buy this?

Hi Joe,

Both the radial twists and the canes that you mention are relatively common in Vasart/Strathearn pieces.
