Thanks Gentlemen,
This sword also has some notches on the back of the spine near the tip. I have not seen this on other examples. When I get it I will post more images. These Parapat are quite enigmatic swords. Would be good to know the significance snd origin of the hair. I read Dayak adorned their shields with the hair of their victims. Could the same apply here?
