Honestly when reading the book I imagined them all as blank sticks. Maybe that's just me, but nothing seemed to suggest they had fancy handles or anything.

I also mostly imagined them as like particularly straight twigs you can pick up off the forest floor.

I mean, yes, you need to put in the wand core, but it is a magic world so I thought they just repaired it

Do the death eaters have the same wands? What? How? They got wands from a set as kids? And doesn't it completely blow their real-life identities?

Standard issue to protect your identity? It’s not like you CANT use someone else’s wand, it’s just that you’ll use the bonded one best, as far as I understand

Yes, but it is much less powerful. Not quite what you want when expecting a fight.
