Congratulations on the top of your Parang Negara. As you know that was the one that I just slightly missed for my collection. That's the best I have seen for sale so far! Michael |

maybe but I think that the one below is a more rare type.... I have also the idea,but its only an idea that yours and the one below are older than the "classic" Parang Negara on top. Arjan. |

Obviously your lower parang is a transition between a Mandau and a Parang Negara. But I find the top one more beautiful. Michael |

I think the parang negara is around 1900, the mandau types about 30 years earlier but its only a quess of course. I must have a picture somewhere from an old book where the negara mandaus are already are pictured around 1900. Oooh, found it! here they are from Int. Archif fur Ethnografie.band V.1892. The one parang look like the photo you placed in this thread, Ben Arjan. Last edited by mandaukudi; 31st October 2007 at 05:52 PM. |
