Hey Rick, I have seen some with butts that were added separately like yours, since most have the butt end covered up or you do not get to see images of it I could not figure out how it was attached but maybe the use of wood dowels was common but just how seen, with either a plate or decorations covering it up.

It looks like the butt end was not cut evenly, is that just from the angle?

Hi Estcrh.
No, it's just the angle of the photo. There appears a small, old repair on the edge. I'll take another photo so you can see. (as soon as my camera battery is recharged
