Mandau for comment, recent?

So I think it could be 1920/1930's and well preserved as Barry suggests.

Best regards,

Thank you Willem,

have hoped that you jump in! I just have given a small bid for watching and never have thought that I will win the auction.
The seller just told me that it come from a french family where the grandfather was a sailor and bought it 1930 in Indonesia.
Do you have a clue from which tribal group it could be?

Regards,

Detlef
