Old Viking tenon ??

[sk8ordie]

Had a gentleman bring by an older early window cue Viking for a tip change and noticed his ferrule was loose. It came completely off and this is what I found. Looks like someone tried to nail a ferrule on unless this was from factory. I know old Vikings had a medal threaded tenon but not this. Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks

Palmer did this also, way back when players wanted High Deflection shafts

Looks like someone tried to make it low deflection.
Plug it and start fresh.

Agreed but without the wood tenon.

That's exactly what I told this customer because the ferrule was also cut shorter than normal, about 1/2 inch.
Imagine the guy who did this and thought you cut the ferrule short to lose weight for low end mass and then added a steel tack to hold it
