Hello Cedric,

Kai's already answered your question but I would like to add that your Parang Pedang is more like a transition between a PP and a Murut Sangkit.
See http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2149

I am especially thinking about the characteristic Sangkit and Pakayun brass ferrule and also the scabbard.
Except yours I have only seen one resembling transitional parang and that's in the collection of one of our mutual Scandinavian friends.

How old do you estimate the (Iban) Parang #3 is?

Michael

PS Here are 2 "classic" PPs as a comparision - sorry about the bad pictures.
