Seadajak Parang with rare scabbard

Hi Michael,

A special scabbard.
Do you think the ratta strip on the edge is original

I would leave the paint on the scabbard. It will probably not be as old as the scabbard itself, but I think it was an original (tribal) addition at some time.
I do'nt think the paint was some addition to improve the market value on ebay
For a better market value he should have cleaned the blade before auctioning
I saw this one too and even thought about placing a bid.
But than the finacial crisis struck

What do you think of the handle ?
It is not newly made, but is it as old as the blade and scabbard ?

Best regards,
Willem
