This one seems odd to me. Perhaps others have seen a similar example.
The hilt appears to be turned wood with a plain iron ferrule. The blade is slightly curved and widens towards the tip. The end has a series of carved curves. The latter remind me of some Malay choppers that have similar decorative ends. I don't have the item readily to hand, but from memory the overall length was about 25 inches. Comments and thoughts welcome. . |

The blade looks like that of a parang nabur

Hi Ian,
Equally what it is or from where it is coming, I like it! ![]() Blade looks somewhat Malay. I can understand why Udo mentioned the Beladah Belabang. And it also remembers a little bit of a daab. Regards, Detlef |

Thanks Detlef and Udo. The tang is hidden, not peined over the end.
