For several years I have tried to find one of these but those few that I have been offered have all had some flaws that made me hesitate.
But this Summer, thanks to one of the forumites, I found it.
This is the original Iban, or Sea Dayak, parang before other kind of parang variations became fashionable.
I am aware that the kundieng (protrusion at the blade close to the hilt) is smaller than usual but the rest is like a wet dream.
This is the sword that Stone mixed up with the South Borneo Malay saber sword, aka Beladah Balabang, when he misnamed that sword Parang Nabur.
