Banjar Parang?

Hello,

I would like to know the name of this parang (which I suppose to be originating from the region of Banjarmasin).
The blade possesses a pamor but this one is not very visible because of the rest of an old varnish (yellowish). On one side of the blade you can see at the base an X forged in the pamor.
The handle is in wood with 3 brass nails in decoration on each side.
The lightweight wooden sheath is very skilled at its end and it lacks an element (in wooden? Bone? Horn?).
The blade mesure : 48cm in length, 4cm in maximum width and 7mm in thickness at base
