Hi Ben,
I think the parang negara is around 1900, the mandau types about 30 years earlier but its only a quess of course.
I must have a picture somewhere from an old book where the negara mandaus are already are pictured around 1900.
Oooh, found it! here they are from Int. Archif fur Ethnografie.band V.1892.
The one parang look like the photo you placed in this thread, Ben
Arjan.
