Default Two Pade

Dear members,

I am happy that I am able to show you my two new friends. Two rare Pade from Ceram.
The first one I swap with a member, sorry Carlos and Ericlaude.
It is 68 cm long and 9 mm thick at the base. The end cap of the handle is missing. It have had thick corrosion at the blade and I cleaned it with lemon acid.

The second one I get from a very good netherlands dealer who do also a superb restore job for the end cap of the handle.
It is 77 cm long and 10 mm thick at the base.

It will be nice to read your comments and when possible to see other Pade from you, thank's in advance.

Good grief!
There is no end to the variety of shapes and names of Indonesian weapons.
Albert, we need another book, or Vol.2 :-)
Seriously, it seems that every nook and cranny of every village on every speck of an island had its own variant. And I am not talking about Krises.....
In comparison, even Caucasian kindjals look monotonous.

Hi Sajen,

They are both from dutchmen!
I also liked both pade's, but was too late with the last one, and I was negotiating with the first one you depicted in this thread. Happily for you it didn,t come to an agreement.
Nice pieces, congratulations!

Maurice

Hello Ariel,

Albert show a few examples in his book at page 70/71, No. 261, 262 and I think that also 270 is a Pade.

Nice ones,

I like the Pade and their different variations.
Also they are fun to try out and slash with.
Here are a couple of other variations from Sulawesi and Moluccas/Ceram.

Hello Michael,

Hi Detlef,

I guess the center one, of the three, is from Sulawesi as most of this variation has been collected in SE Sulawesi.
But thatīs really hard to say because this sword is in fact ethnic, not regional.

Kind regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

the first one I show is from Ceram for sure. What do you guess is the second one from?

Kind regards,

Detlef

Hi Royston,

yes, IMO the blade form is typical for a Pade. But I never have seen a handle like this. Maybe Michael know more. Very nice sword! When you ever bore it ......

My guess is that Deltefīs second one is Moluccan, based on the blade shape.
Royīs is indeed a pade but I havenīt either seen a handle like that before in any museum or other collection.
Does the handle look to have the same age as the rest of the sword?

Interesting thread this turns out to be. Although I have no pade myself (only I have handled some in privat collections of others), I like them very much and in some way I am attracted to the awesome shape of these blades.
Nice pieces Michael and Roy.
I also checked my database and I could neither find a pade with a handle like the one of Roy's pade. It looks like some kind of fish-figure to me.

Glad you like it. Thanks for the comments.

I will post some more photo's, but I am away from home at work for the next couple of weeks so it will have to wait until I get home.
Sad B that I am I carry a hard drive around with me and it does contain a sample of photo's from my collection but not everything in detail. There is only this one picture of the pade.

Please be patient. I will get back to you.

Oops, I forgot to look in my own collection.
I just remember that I have a Pade myself with a resembling hilt of green horn.
That pade is quite late however, maybe from the 70īs.
I will post a picture when back home again.

Nice thread BTW!
I think the Pade of Royston is a traded blade from South east Celebes and the handle looks into the direction of a Tobelo ( Halmahera,Moluccas) handle.

Hi Michael,

A small booklet called Tobelo " De waarde der dingen" about bride gifts in the Mollucan Tobelo culture where a few swords are pictured with more or less the same hilts. I will see if I can find it.

Hello Arjan and Michael,

I show a picture of this small book from the swords already in this threat:

http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=pade

When I look to the sheat from Michael's newer Pade I have to think more to Sulawesi sword sheats.
I sold not long ago a sword (maybe a wall decoration from Indonesia) with a similar hilt.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300312396934

Maybe this hilt form is not unkommon for the region?

Then I know which book you mean.
I donīt think the hilts and the swords shown in this book is that close to
Royīs chopper.
In the Leiden collection there are 2 resembling swords found in Yamdena.
But I havenīt seen any "closer resembling" Royīs blade- and hilt-wise in Leiden.
On my later chopper I also suspect that itīs SE Sulawesi, both sheath and blade.

Surprised ( and pleased ) at the interest in this one.
It looks like cow or buffalo horn to me.
