Silver mounted badek for coments

Badek ... badik ... badiik. I see all three versions out there; which one would be correct ?
The blade is 10" (25 cms.) long.
The seller dated it 18-19th century ... would 18th make some sense ?
Some signs of restoring can be seen on the wooden parts.
I wonder whether this is a current piece or a bit of a "presumptious" example, with its silver mountings ... i mean in its due period.
Would anyone care to coment on it ?
I would be most gratefull.
