Batangas sword

I have been meaning to post this for some time.
I aquired it more than 20 years ago at a Wallis and Wallis auction in Lewis. It was being sold as a Parang Nabur and considering the picture in Stone's it is easy to see why.

Length is 72 cm with a 56 cm blade.
Thickness of the blade near the hilt is 11mm.

The hilt is of some very dark wood or horn covered with silver.
Knucklebow and crossguard are of iron or steel.

The scabbard is all wood.

All comments will be appreciated.

Regards
Roy
