Hullo everybody!
![]() AND YET AGAIN, I have been asked the same type of questions. This post is an attempt to obviate such a recurrence. I have reconstructed charts I made when I was still starting out. 'THANK YOU' to all you (involuntary) contributors for providing the pictures.( My apologies. I hope I haven't annoyed you too much by not first seeking permission to use them.) The following is based on basic shape: |

Notes:
- There is no standard for curvature or length. - Parang Njaboer Balanak, aka Parang Toeso'. - Parang Njaboer Lais, aka Parang Soedo'. - Parang Njaboer Pipih, aka Parang Patjat Gantoeng. - Such parangs generally aka Parang Pamangkas or Parang Kemoedi Singkir. - Prior to c.1860, red-painted parang-njaboers ( Baladaw Balabang ) were worn by outer-perimeter palace-guards.

Amuk,
It's interesting to see all slight variations of the same sword in one thread but what is the purpose of that you are giving each variation a modern Indonesian name? I am also a bit perplexed that you are using the general term "Parang Njaboer" for some of them. From where does this term come and what does it mean? What is the difference in your chart between the "Parang Njaboer" and the "Baladaw Balabang", except dress materials and (mostly) age? "Prior to c.1860, red-painted parang-njaboers ( Baladaw Balabang ) were worn by outer-perimeter palace-guards." Could you please develop this interesting information - which palace, what source and why prior to 1860? Did they stop making them after c. 1860, so the scabbard is an exact age indicator? Why haven't you included the Banjar Jenawi in this list (enclosed)? Michael |
