Mandau...

Hi all here is the third mandau that I was able to include in my collection and I think that finally I have one of those Ben call REAL mandau, at least the sword seems an old one with nice carvings on handle and deep yellow patina. The scabbard seems, instead, more recent as the piso raout but both still nice. The carvings on the scabbard seem to be not finished and maybe recent. Can you tell me the origin (modang???)? All comments are really welcome
