This is on order from Oriental Arms. Artzi just refers to it as a Indonesian pedang. Information would be appreciated in narrowing down the where, when, and what. Once I get it in I'll be hoping for help on translating the inscriptions.

That seemed like it was indeed a similar parang but the discussion was not very productive. No one actually offered any translations that I saw.

Marcus,
Have you invested in any books on the subjects that you have interest in? Gavin |

Hello Marcus,
very nice pedang, think that it is from Lombok. But I think that the inscription is very recent. Sorry, can't help with the translation. I would recommend to you the book from Albert G. Van Zonneveld, "Traditional Weapons Of The Indonesian Archipelago", ISBN 90-5450-004-2. It is a pedang and not a parang. Best regards, Detlef |

regarding the script... if it's in arabic script, it's a very bad scrawl... imagine a doctor's prescription writing. It's not legible at all and the writing is as though attempted by one who didn't know arabic script.

Of course, my (silly) mistake. I have the Zonneveld book. It is an excellent reference. This piece comes closest to Zonneveld's type II, but he only shows a single example. Could it be considered a Pedang lurus?

I introduced it as a parang because that was how Artzi identified it.

Here you can see three other examples of this type from pedang but there are a lot more in old threads: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=pedang
