a parang by another name?

regarding the script... if it's in arabic script, it's a very bad scrawl... imagine a doctor's prescription writing. It's not legible at all and the writing is as though attempted by one who didn't know arabic script.

Which would confirm that it is very recent, added to the blade for selling purpose.

Of course, my (silly) mistake. I have the Zonneveld book. It is an excellent reference. This piece comes closest to Zonneveld's type II, but he only shows a single example. Could it be considered a Pedang lurus?

Lurus mean straight. First, your pedang isn't straight and second is this: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=pedang+lurus what I understand as pedang lurus.

I introduced it as a parang because that was how Artzi identified it.
