I HAVE ONE OF THESE AND HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED IT TO BE A MALAY OR DAYAK PARANG. IT HAS A VERY THICK HEAVY BLADE AND WOULD DELIVER A HEAVY BLOW LIKE THE PANABAS BUT IS DESIGNED MORE FOR ONE HAND USE. IT IS GOOD TO SEE WHAT THE SCABBARD LOOKS LIKE AS MINE DOSEN'T HAVE ONE, THE POMEL HAS THE SHAPE OF DAYAK PARANGS AND PARANG LATOK. A NICE FIND!
