Yes, it's a pade. Michael, I see lamination near the handle at the last picture of post #1? But Dave will be able to confirm or negate it.
Semarang is a different sword to my knowledge, see here:

Dave, you a have a rare sword but a simple execution, a collector friend have a very similar one. This one have lamination for sure.
A pade don't have a scabbard!
I have some more pade in the meanwhile like shown in the thread Michael have posted, when I have time I will show them side by side in this thread.
