Thanks a bunch for your thoughts. I haven't yet received the item, so I can't say yet if there are signs of shortening, or if there are signs that the blade was removed from a katar. I have never seen a katar with such a "ball" at the base of the blade, nor one with a snake going down the middle, so I'd love to see pictures for comparison. I've found this thread on the old forum about so-called "katars on a stick"

No pictures, unfortunately, but this one (much later than mine I think, and far more obviously a katar) ended on ebay recently:

I'll certainly post pictures of the key areas when I receive it! I appreciate your help,
