hello Alex
the lengte of the parang is from the tip to the end of the hendel 75.cm
en the lengte of the blade 62.cm
I think aboud the pamor he looks like iris pandan

Interesting Piece Hans.

Considering the style and quality of the handle I would say that this Parang Nabur handle might be between 1850 - 1900.
But is the blade also that old ?
The age of the blade is difficult for me to judge because it has recently been washed and oiled.

Maybe there are other forumites who can judge such a blade based on the pamor characteristics / quality ?

Never seen a pamor blade in one of these before .

Is the blade a new replacement ?

Interesting sword.
I noticed it too when it was offered but I had this hunch that it was a, maybe Bali,
later combination with the pamor blade and the end of sheath.
It's strange that the blade just follows the contours of a Beladah Belabang-blade
but there aren't the usual cut out characteristic details?
Also that the top "half-wing screw" isn't replaced when everything else seems to be restored?
