Thanks,

Manny

Hi Flavio pieces like these are mostly gifts in the older days
and I know the guy who selling it it.

I can only tell just look good in the books and in the museums and than compare.

Look at old dayak picture s where they carry mandau s.

Look at old collection s so it must be easy for you to find out what piece this is.
