Nope, no butt cap. For now i will probably just cut the ragged end. There is still about 48 inches left of the shaft. Does anyone know what was traditionally used on these spears? Anyone have any examples with the original shafts attached? Anyone have any pics of what these butt caps look like?

rattan would be good as well, david. for its size, a 5' to 5.5' inches would be sufficient. then find an old 10ga or 12ga shotgun brass shell for buttcap. on the one i have it has a U.M.C. no. 12 mark on the shell cap
