This is my last adquisition.
It was bought in an antique market, the seller sold parang and some photos of spanish military in philippines. I think is indonesian, but is possible this parang was used in philippines too? Thanks in advance Carlos |

Looks to be a classic Sumatran 'parang Palembang'...and a nice one! It may go by other names as well. Please see:

Hello Carlos,
This is a pedang variant that is known from the Palembang hinterlands, the Rawas region in the upper Musi river system. I've seen the names Penai and Pelitei used for this type - both certainly need some more research though! Regards, Kai |
