Something Else For ID
One of these days I'm going to have to stop buying things that I have no idea as to what they are. This is the latest item I have picked up. It was very cheap so I really have nothing to loose if it is just tourist junk. These are the only pictures I have of it and of right now I don't even have any dimensions. Any and all help on where this is from, its possible age and what it is called would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Robert Last edited by Robert Coleman; 7th January 2013 at 12:22 AM. |

I agree with you Detlef. It reminds me of the Nias Lasara hilts so that general area I'd say. Possibly Malay, some parang variant? Last edited by Atlantia; 6th January 2013 at 06:23 PM. |

That general area I'd say. Sumartra/Indonesia/Malaysia. I was just googling parang and coming up with some fairly close matches. |
