Parang Nabur

Nice Beladah Belabang.

Besides the handle with it's beautifull handguard, I also like the blade, despite it is carved a bit roughly.

I have seen these rougher carvings more on parang nabur blades, and owned one similar with also those crude carvings in the blade.

What I like is that the carvings are going all over the length of the blade till the shoulder.

The BB is also one of my favourite swords, from an overall fencing perspective.
If I remember all the details correctly this beauty is from an old Swedish collection.
If that's the case I have handled it and the balance is good as well.
