Nice one but it does not look that old to me.

It's not a langgai tinggang nor a mandau.
If it really would have been an old LT it probably would have been 2 - 3 times as expensive.
But I find it a very interesting non-documented Iban Parang anyway and I especially like its hilt and blade.

It was relisted once, the first listing did not allow bids from outside USA.

Definately not a Langgai Tinggang.
As per Ben's rules also not a Jimpul. But still, nice blade, nice hilt.

Didn't this come from an ebay auction in the USA last month ?

Strange the images are back...must have been a problem with the eBay UK server

I cannot comment on the age etc, but I really like this form with the curved blade...
