Have a little chisel, looks like the handle it has is the wrong one??

Chisel itself is a CE Jennings 1-1/4" bevel edge chisel.

Tang looks like a Butcher made one. Handle has a "cigar band" label remnant

But the chisel is an ill-fit, and has split the end of this handle ( got the thing assembled at a yard sale $0.50)
Sooo, either I can cut a ash handle down a bit to make a "new" one..

Or...drive this "found" handle( yard sale "junk box") onto the tang?

At least this LOOKS a bit closer to the ones Jennings sold.
Chisel is very sharp......while cleaning the logo off, sandpaper slipped off the chisel, and my thumb skipped across the edge.....looked down to see a nice, deep cut. OW!.
Need a way to drive the tang into the "new" handle.....might look into a ring for the top, as well?
Logo on the blade? C E JENNINGS under that is an arrowhead, then a "Made in USA" below that. Might be worth all this effort?
