Hi Ben,
Happy new year!! Great looking parang. It is nice to see the similarities in style with this handle of yours to the higher Coppenshandle Michael has! How old it was estimated you told me these handles were in fashion? (I can,t quite remember). I believed you told me about 1875? Also nice carved scabbard!! Maurice |

Congratulations!
The best one of your newly acquired parang I have seen so far in 2009!  It's very close to the Jimpul I traded with your for the LT in style. Actually I think it's a Jimpul variation even if the tip isn't squarish. On the scabbard end I have never seen it before on anything else than Pandat (enclosed an example). So I assume that it's inspired from the Land Dayaks in style? Michael |

Happy New Year, interesting handle, the forming of the gunge around the top and the silver coin. What is the metal on the grip?

Hi Michael maybe it is the other way around that is the way I like to find out. I think that there are 2 variations off pandats that one type did belong to the seadayaks but I never did found any proof that this right or wrong . You are right whit thinking that there must be a few variations of the Jimpul type we know from the shelford publication . I see to much of this type very old ones . You have also a few maybe you can post them also here to compare . Compare your Oldman and your Coppens both maybe same age different area different style . The metal on the Handle is not silver Tim but could be an mix . Ben |

It could be tin? but most likely a local silver. Tin lead and silver?

Hi Tim no not tin it is more metal mix whit maybe a little silver but it is to strong to be silver and I put an boiled eg against it and no reaction so no much silver in it anyway .
The coins are silver from the netherlands . Ben |
