WELCOME TO THE FORUM.
I AGREE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT OF THIS MANDAU AS TO AGE AND LOCAL USE NON-TOURIST. THE CARVED DESIGNS ON THE HANDLE AND ESPECIALLY THE SCABBARD ARE NOT WHAT IS USUALLY SEEN ON DAYAK SWORDS SO PERHAPS ITS A TRIBAL OR REGIONAL DESIGN I AM NOT USED TO SEEING OR INFLUENCED FROM INDONESIA OR SOMEWHERE. EITHER WAY I LIKE IT.
