Update:

Received the paddle today, the color in real life is much more a yellow orange red then a red wood which is how it appears in the pictures i bought it from (post1)

Its also a lot smaller, see included picture in my normal sized hands (for lack of a better word)

The wood still looks like palm but a much finer type then i have here, could also be another type.. (any help would be welcome on the wood type)

The shape is much more like a paddle then seen in the first pictures.

The main difference with the Solomon type is the butt end and the missing of the typical cross form,

So still one big mystery...

The more I have looked in books and online and compared to the Amazon clubs in my collections and abroad, I do see this as Santa Cruz islands, IE; Solomon Islands.
