Here is one almost ready to loose. Very easy to make from walking stick parts. The actual rest is a turned down thumb stick head made from Buffalo Horn although several materials are on the market including some nice wood ones. The main body is a standard garden cane with the nodes removed and flamed to temper and straighten. The sections are joined together with a bit of glass fibre tube with horn spacers. A couple of the joints use a screw ferrule to allow the stick to be used at different lengths. The final bit the spike is a cut down aluminium bank stick although I have used hard wood or brass on occasions.
There are a lot of people selling the bits but i have found this supplier helpful:
