Piso Podang with interesting Pamor blade - Batak?

I really liked the Pamor blade on this Piso Podang and couldn't resist adding it to my collection, although it doesn't have a scabbard. I have searched the Forum for Piso Podangs with Pamor blade, but I have't found any! Does anybody else has another examples with Pamor baldes? Is it a Batak sword?

Nice piece. Not seen many of these with locally made laminated steel like this.

I had one some years ago, but had to sell it on due to pressing financial difficulty.

Most of the examples I have seen have European trade blades. I like this one better because it has such great pamor in the blade.
