Hello Kai,

I had a similar pade like Dave's. Looking at the blade (which is a bit more simple as the pade blades from Celebes) I would guess there is a good possibility that Dave's indeed is a mollucan sword instead of a Celebes sword.
These also had more simple handles IMO, like the one I once owned.
Mine was definately made like that, and not shortened.

Regards,
Maurice
