Hi I am sorry but the mandau is an new one the handle is poorly carved and also the side knife and the blade.
And I never read about that carving an Handle take s a year Mark.
The Dajaks are expert in nice carvings
Take a good look at the pics you can see what an handle and scabbard have to look like
I am not an expert but before anyone buy s a weapon get good informed and visit an museum online or look for some good books and information and an real old nice mandau are hard to get . but that count for most other weapons too I think.
