Malay sword???

[Ian]

There is a nice thread on parang nabur with pictures here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=692

Dajak attached a picture of several of these swords, with the fourth example having an all brass hilt. You can see that picture here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/attach...tid=3618&stc=1

The blade on the one that sold recently on eBayis unusual, but I think it still falls into the general style of the parang nabur. The scabbard is also unusual, as Michael noted, but may be a regional variant or a later marriage.

Looking through v. Zonneveld, I don't see anything else resembling this sword.
