Willem, 
 
On my mandau you are correct that I had seen several, as well as visited both East and North Borneo, before I bought one. 
Also I didn't have the money available at the time I was travelling for buying anything else than cheap souvenirs. 
 
I am curious to see the rest of your first mandau? 
And some of the other forumites first mandaus too? 
 
Michael
