Hans,

you have given the badik for discussion, so let us dicuss it. Even when the blade is a cut down pedang blade, it is still very nice. This don't need to be a recent alteration. Like Alan write, normally follow the core until the blades point, have a look to your other badik from your collection or to the attached pictures from one of mine.
The other point have been the elongated handle, normally attributed to Java badiks. But maybe can Andi M. Irwan Zulfikar can enlighten us, he is coauthor of the book and as well a member of this forum.

Regards,

Detlef
