Yeah, It is a strange thing. I cant find any photos of any others with that "hook" on it.
Its has proper looking age and patina too me but I am now leaning towards it being an elaborate fake. I tested the buttons with a magnet and they are magnetic. From what I have discerned they are suppose to be pure copper if they are fur trade era.

I would have to have a smoke to tell you if it's real ... ;-)
and "real" would need definition.
Can you tell if the stem/haft hole has been burned or drilled and is it lined (metal tube, etc.)?
Here is a bit crustier version of same (link below). I would say Cavet Emptor !##!
