Ian,

I am a bit sceptical to that the featured neck is a sign of Sumbawa?
I have 3 different variations of Parang Sumbawa and none of them have that neck.
In van Z p. 135 you can see two examples of a more regular kind of Parang Sumbawa blade that also resembles the blades of mine.

PS But your Parang definetely looks like Sumbawa with that hilt and scabbard. It's just the neck on your Parang that's unusual IMHO.
