My thanks to everyone who have taken time to give their thought and opinions on the place of origin of this unusual parang. I have added photos a few at a time today as I cropped and resized them from the one original auction photo in hopes of helping in its identification. What are everyones thoughts on possible age and whether or not this is a working piece or an item meant for those who travel? Is the writing on the scabbard of any significance or just scribbling from a previous owner that should be removed after it arrives? Again my thanks for all who have helped so far.
Regards,
Robert
