Hello Michael,
when I look to your parang, special the handle it seems to be from Halmahera, it's the typical handle from there. It's shaped like a crocodile head. I get onetime a small book from Benny about ethnic works from Halmahera, there two examples from parang inside. I look for and take a picture from. Regards, Detlef |

Hello Michael, here the pictures from the book. Hope it's not against the rules to show this pictures.
The blade from your parang is atypical but the handle speak that it come from Halmahera. Regards, Detlef |

Thanks for the comment, Detlef.
I have seen this book extract but I was unsure if the, more Tanimbar-like, blade of my parang disqualified it as from Halmahera. Michael |
