I believe that both tips are original, just different agate circles. These are all hand cut and vary. Both tips on this rod are full length.

The grip has been cleaned. A common cleaning method is soap and water then rub with dry Comet powder as an abrasive until the cork is cleaned.

There has been a varnish recoat but its not streaky and no brush strokes are seen. No evidence of any rewinding and the ferrules still pop.
