Although this is not as curved and I know little about these really. I can see some similarities to the blade and the scabbard. Any more information would be very nice to know. This is my a favourite.

Arjan, I am a bit puzzled with the hilt on the middle one?
Please let me know why it's Iban? Is the lower one a Parang Gayang? Tim, yours is nice too but I think you should post it in a separate thread as it's not related to the ones discussed in this thread. It's to confusing otherwise to comment it in relation to the other ones. Michael |

Micheal I do not mean to confuse anybody, I am a bit confused that might be why I post it here. I like many others probably just see mandau. I just noted some similarity in the scabbard colour and binding also the blade. You guys seem to have all the answers?

Silver Nickel
Pakfung Paktong Alpaca German Silver Berlin Silver White Metal Different names for the same alloy. I am an ignorant on this kind of weapons, and this reference to the use of german silver on them is an interesting point. I wonder if this was a common feature on their craft, and since when. This can be useful in dating an item, as it is on the case of the khukris. Regards Gonzalo Last edited by Gonzalo G; 7th February 2009 at 10:45 PM. |

Willem, it looks like that coin and size is roughly the same.
Gonzalo, that kind of alloy as on Ben's handle isn't "standard" on these parang. Michael |

The hilt is puzzling me too , I have the idea that this piece is from the north of Borneo below the Murut area but I have no proof. The lower one is what I call a mandau from the Dusun tribe. regards, Arjan. |

Has the "mandau from the Dusun tribe" a flat blade with the same decorations on both sides? Michael |
