I have one similar bought at an auction in Italy; the origin is Batak. The blade is different, and also I wish to know its name. For Adni that looked at the pics seems a parang latok. I guess, looking at Van Zonneveld book that might be a klewang puchok meukawet (page 72 Fig.273). Your opinion ?
Regards
Paolo

Paolo, there is a mark at forte on your sword that suggests it may have come from a European blade. The best I can make out is "?LN&?" -- possibly "BLN&D" although the first and last letters are incomplete.
