I HAVE SEEN MANY VARIATIONS OF THESE KINDS OF PARANGS ATTRIBUTED TO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS, MALAYSIA,INDONESIA,CEYLON,AND THAILAND.
I HAVE NO WAY TO BE ABSOLUTELY SURE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE MALAYSIA AS MY FIRST CHOICE. THE FORM IS NOT THE TRADITIONAL KASTANE BUT IT STILL COULD HAVE BEEN MADE THERE WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW IF THE SELLER HAS PROVENANCE OR WAS JUST GUESSING.
I WILL TRY AND ADD SOME PICTURES OF THE TRADITIONAL FORM OF KSATANE.
