Confiscated Dayak Headhunting Parang

[VVV]

I just picked up 4 Dayak parang that I got from an old Danish collection.
The collector was a military pharmacist in Kalimantan 1913-1931 and got his parang when they arrested dayaks for headhunting activities.
Two of them are West Kalimantan Iban parang, a Jimpul and "something else".
Both of them have deep fullers and brass decorations along the back of the blade. The Jimpul has the old style dot along the fuller decoration.
The Parang has a wooden hilt and has the lenght of a Parang Pedang.

Hi Michael,

I enjoyed the pictures of your wonderfull additive to your collection.
And I think the "regular kayan ones" are wonderfull pieces.

So I don't think I have to mention what I think about the other two.

Really SUPER!!


Kind regards,
Maurice
