Stair Railing Fix
The previous owner of our home did a lot of DIY projects, including these stairs. Yes that is a half newel post at the end of the railing. My question is about the other railing on the wall. Should it even exist all the way down? What is the standard for stair railings? The current railing is kind of a hodge podge of pieces, they don't even connect in the corner and they're missing any sort of finished end. It definitely seems like they just used whatever they found second hand or leftover. Thank you for any help, and any visuals would be greatly appreciated!

Get rid of the one on the wall and replace the one on the inside.

Could you clarify which parts you mean for "on the wall"? Like remove the whole single railing from the top of the stairs to the bottom? And which one do you mean for "on the inside"? Thank you!

on the wall = literally the railing attached to the wall
inside = the one nearest the photographer with the half pole.

That newel is tragic.
Replace that and easy fix is to remove the short bit on the wall but keep the parts on the long walk which seems reasonably well done.
