Bill,

I think Ben means that your brass collar is shorter than those on all of his Pakayun.
More the size of his Parang Sangkit, which is a different kind of Murut sword.
John has posted his 2 nice Pakayun in his gallery on the Kampungnet.

Here is another one of the very rare old style Pakayun.
I know that Ben doesn't think the red colour is traditional.
But the colour is already antique and I don't feel like changing anything.
I am a bit low on other Pakayun after Ben decided to focus his collecting.
