Another Dayak Sword

Hallo guys!

Had the opportunity to see the private collection of an Indonesian whom I met this summer in the province of Kalimantan Barat. Among the edged weapons was one Dayak parang, and I just wanted to ask if someone maybe wants to comment. Real? Old? What Dayak-subgroup? Unfortunately, these two are the only photos as I was kinda rushed through that room in true Indonesian style

Thus I don't know what the blade looks like.

Comments on the other visible swords are also welcome, of course.

greetings and thanks
