Hi thanks for the pics the blade is the style off the parang pedang.

The Handle might be replaced or a variation on the Handle.

A very nice example (If you wanna part it you now my email address

)

The handle sty is Iban looks like it is from the North

Your Parang is really unique!
As Dajak states it's closest to an Iban version of a Parang Pedang.
The classic Parang Pedang has a completely different hilt, like the one on Latoks.
What makes me hesitate, more than Dajak does, is also the tip of the blade.
All Parang Pedangs I have seen has another kind of tip with a slope in the other direction.
