THIS SOLD ON EBY A WHILE BACK AND PUZZELED ME. WHERE ARE THEY MAKEING PARMOR BLADES THESE DAYS AND IS IT DAYAK WORK OR SOME OF THE EMIGRATES FROM OTHER ISLANDS WHO STILL MAKE PARMOR SWORD BLADES. THE WOOD CARVING IS GOOD AND HAS DAYAK DESIGNS BUT SEEMS A BIT DIFFERENT AND THE BLADE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE NORMAL MANDAU BLADE. IS THIS BEING DONE IN INDONESIAN BORNEO BY A MIX OF DAYAK AND PEOPLE FROM OTHER INDONESIAN ISLANDS?
