Default Borneo Mandau with Scabbard for Trade

Hello.
I have this beautiful Borneo mandau that I'm offering to trade toward Pacific Island clubs, canes, staffs, or other pieces. I am mainly interested in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Australia, Fiji, and New Caledonia, but I am open to pieces from other areas in the Pacific. I am mainly looking for a trade, but if a fair offer is not out of the question.
The overall length of the sword (hair included in measurement) is 29 1/2". The length of exposed blade is 21 7/8" of the total. The spine on this blade is 1/4" thick. the dyed goat's hair looks to be in great shape. The carved antler handle does have a few small chips in the openwork. The blade is in great shape, as is the smaller blade. The sword's scabbard has a small area of loss to the bottom, and the small scabbard on the back is intact. The thin split rattan wrapping has a few broken pieces at the bottom section.

Best regards,
Joe
