Dajak,

Thanks for showing your Murut Parang.
This Parang is quite rare and yours is the best one of them I have seen.
The binding on the hilt is quite unusual, isn't it? Mine has f.i. parallell brass wire.
Yours resemble more the kind of binding one would expect on a Moro sword, like a Sulu Kris?
But maybe that's not so strange considering the mix of cultures in NW Borneo?

Thanks Dajak,

My Murut Parang has a more regular hilt. But it has a scabbard with flower patterns.
The blade is laminated and actually the binding on the hilt is similar to yours now when I checked it.
I must have mixed it up with another Sangkit than mine.

Dajak and Michael:

Wonderful pictures of a rare sword. Outstanding examples and beautifully maintained. Thanks for showing them to us.

I'm sure that I am not the only collector who has added this sword to his (or her) "must-have-one" list.

Ian.
