 Sometimes I got carried away and want to tell more than just about the sword, cause I happen to read a lot about the Bandjermasin area lately....Sorry if I bother some of the collectors who are only interested in swords and not about the situation of particular area....  I have somewhere an article which is telling about the red "paint". I try to find it soon for you. Regards, Maurice |

Usually the red color on Banjar weapons is from Dragon's blood (it is a local plant resin, not from "real" dragons).

Yesterday I received the parang and it was disappointing, the blade is forged from monosteel. While the parang seems to have age it seems to be unused. Will look if the auction house can give me informations about the provenance.
Someone know how long this parangs are "produced" in Banjarmasin? |
