Borneo sword for I.D

Royston · 5th March 2026, 04:21 PM

This is the first sword I have bought in a while as prices seem to be very high these days ( unless you are selling

)
Is this a Langgai Tinggang ?
If not, then what ?
It is large at 57cm long and weighs 0.8kg.
It is a bit crude but I think too good to be tourist.
The face on the antler hilt is an added bonus.

Thanks in advance
Roy

Hi,
The blade doesn't look bad, but hilt and scabbard are very touristic for me...

It looks like mandau sword of dayaks, head hunter sword.
There are "real deal" ones and "touristic" ones.
