Parang Nabur

Nice example.
The blade carvings are rather crude, but the horn handle compensates this easily

Fittings are probably nickel alloy.
Most (if not all) parang nabur I have seen so far had nickel alloy and/or brass but no silver.

Looking forward to the shield you bought

CONGRADULATIONS ON AQUIRING A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE. I LIKE THAT TYPE OF BLADE TIP IT KIND OF REMINDS ME OF SOME TYPES OF MANDAU. DOES IT HAVE A FALSE EDGE OR REAL EDGE ON TOP NEAR THE TIP? THE GAURD COILD SERVE TO STRIKE AND WOULD KEEP AN ADVERSARY FROM GRABBING THAT HAND AND HOLDING ON. ITS BEAUTIFUL BUT SHARP AND SPIKEY.
