Question about the butt caps of new Balabushka Cues

[Lowell]

I think the new Balabushkas from Taiwan are actually very nice looking, and I would probably buy one if I had the money. But I have one question/gripe about them:

Are the small butt caps like these authentic to the original look of original Balabushkas? I am oddly specific about these kind of things, and think they would look better with a more "standard" sort of butt cap.

Side note, I particularly like this "Burton Spain" model.

No. They are not.

The OG Bushka's had a reddish tint to them. The ones you are looking at have a brownish grey color too them. I had an Orignal Adams/bushka cue and it played good. I am not sure how the modern ones play

They always looked good to me, except for the big ugly signature
