Thanks for all your comments.
I am a bit surprised that it draw so much attention based only on the pictures.
On the price it was because one other Borneo sword collecting member of this forum (who hasn't commented it here) also was sniping high - bad luck.
I will have a closer look when I recieve it in a week or two.

Ben, I think seadayak sword is a very good description for this kind of parang.
Lew, I never disagreed with you that the scabbard looks more recent.
It was more the hilt and blade that caught my interest.
But I have the same experience as Arjan on some collected weapons so it's still open until I have recieved the parang.
