I cannot figure why are they so bloody expensive...

I have just one parang ihlang in my collection and it has an old quality blade. I think that it was made before 1900 and I've bought it from a wife of an old deceased collector for a bargain price, together with its piso podang. Sadly no scabbard included.

Is that one of those very sought after pieces or not?
