Yes it is a parang nabur and is from Indonesia.

Yep, made in the Negara/Banjar area (SE Borneo) and widely traded throughout the archipelago.

PN is an erraneous collector's name though - beladah belabang seems to be the actual local moniker.

BTW, the red paint is traditional - don't clean it off...

Regards,
Kai
