Here's an option.
If you know someone who does lasar engraving
And is GOOD AT IT,
That could work.

Thank you. But I think my chances are very small

Thank you. This could be a possibility. I will try to find someone, who could do this. But I could imagine that no one wants to do it, for fear of producing a forgery.

Do you think, there's an option to buy a used one somewhere?

You just never know.
I think there's a Schon collectors site on FB
Great place to ask.

Thanks for your help
If you buy a used butt cap, and mount it, it is going to need turned, sanded, and finished if it is going to match up perfectly.
Very rarely do we see such parts for sale. They would be from a broken cue. And then, they were turned on that exact cue when it was made. They were perfectly matched on a lathe.
How could it end up? Hard to say. Hard to believe it would be as perfect as a Schön should be.
If I were serious about such a project, I would be talking to Schön.
They could replace the butt cap, if they were willing, or make an entirely brand new cue to suit your needs.
I see you are in Germany, which adds some complications.
If you have a butt cap made and engraved by anyone other than Schön, it is a counterfeit. Honest tradesmen would refuse to do it. If you put a used butt cap on, it is a frankencue.
It's your cue, do whatever you damn well please with it. But I think your adventure could easily be a misadventure.
Personally, I have swapped a few butt caps. But not on anything of any brand significance, and certainly not putting a makers mark on one.

Personally,
If it's broken. Take a picture of it. Then replace it so you can play with it.

I completely agree with you on every point. However, I would only do it for myself because I don't like the black butt cap. Naturally, I would keep the black one and restore the cue to its original condition if I were to sell it. They are an SL 13 and an STL 13. If I were to send the cues to Schön, it would be disproportionately expensive, and—more importantly—customs would confiscate them, meaning they would be lost forever.
