Javanese(???) Parang
I believe this attractive parang is from Java, perhaps Sumatra, and it shows some European influence. It may have even been made for a European.
Input welcomed. Dimensions: Overall length: 24in. Blade length: 18in. Blade's widest point: 1.5in. |

Hello Charles,
Since no one want to comment I will give it a try. Yes it look Javanese to my eyes but I am unsure. Would be nice to know what Alan think about it! Regards, Detlef |

Alan thinks its Jawa.
Very common Jawa blade style, very superior dress. Its a nice thing. |
