Yes, this is a mandau.
IMHO recent. These are also made today for dances so the final conclusion is for the more knowledgeable members. |

I would agree that it is definitely a parang ihlang, but recently made, though not for the tourist trade.

The scabbard bands from brass seems to be a later addition but the blade and handle as well the scabbard carvings don't look recent to my eyes. Blade seems to be very good worked and forged, the handle seems to have fine and nice carvings, nothing let me think by the first view to have here a recent sword. But would like to see some close-up's.
Regards, Detlef |

Posting a picture of a mandau with similar scabbard.
Also an example with later scabbard bands. But on this mandau the blade and scabbard have a lot of patina. I am sure that this one will not be considered as recent. But how much differen are they apart from patina ? |
