Hi Michael the problem with these things is that who did have first the pandit
the Ibans or the land dayaks .
If You have the book basic Iban design you can find it in there the design that is on the scabbard
The problem with these things is that the pandats mostly very old and difficult trace back off the origin off the sword but it is more likely that this type off pandat has the origin by the Ibans .
They where the mostly headhunters off al the dayaks are from borneo ,
It was never used as an tool only for head hunting.
If anyone have pics from people with pandats like them to see.
By the way very nice pandat
