This is quite long. (and a nice example, love the checkering on the handle)
Recently I saw one for sale which was also somewhere between 90 and 100 cms. Ufortunately I only have some low resolution pictures of it. But indeed, most of the time they are shorter and wider. One of the dutch forumites presently has one for sale in his webshop that is both long (90cms) and wide. As it is still for sale, I can not post a link or picture. Ps. I quickly checked the sold parans at Oriental Arms. They vary between 24 and 29 inch total length = between 61 en 74 cms . Last edited by asomotif; 22nd January 2013 at 08:04 PM.

Check this thread out: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ladah+belabang
@ Willem: I noticed it too. If it had a scabbard it could be more interesting... ![]() |

Very nice example. Shame about the horn damage, but it doesn't seem to alter the appearance of the sword much at all.
This is one of my favorite types of swords to handle. They always seem so well balanced regardless of their size. |
