    Maybe it's a tarnished silver tip?

    The silvertips are obviously in the handle!

    It would save them wearing out anyway.

    this pure badger for sure. To call it silvertip is GROSS representation.
    or
    the knot is just upside down as some suggested where the silvertip hair is actually embedded inside the handle
    or
    it was dropped in a bucket of black paint
    or
    it has charred from a blow torch held to the tip of the hair
    or
    since the brush has been placed upside down on the handle the black color from the base has flowed downward towards the tip. (happens to my silvertip brushes all the time....)

    Anything is possible i guess..
