So what do you Dayak enthusiasts think ?

This parang was presented to my dad by the head man of a
longhouse
in the ULU TUTONG area of Brunei in 1968 or 1969 as a thank you for a
helicopter casevac he did. He says that this particular parang which he
thinks is called a parang ilang may well be quite old and is not of the kind
sold to tourists. Indeed he says there were no roads in that area then.
