And i agree with Kai. This mandau seems has a lot of malay's influence. I'm pretty sure this mandau was owned by an high degree malayan coastal people as a gift or collection.

Hello NgajuPride,

Thank you for comment! I've never seen a mandau with a brass handle either, I'd read about it but never seen one. And yes, I also suspect a strong Malay influence.
