Murut Swords

[Dajak]

Hi Bill thanks for sending the pics I think this is an later type off pakayun the wooden handle is to long the brass piece too short the blade looks good.
Is it laminated the blade ???

It is different what we see on the old pakayuns also the scabbard different has no carving on it.

I have not see this type off pakayun at any pics off muruts nore in any book
so that is why I say it must be an later type .
But the blade might be from an old pakayun so might also be a new repair to an old blade.

You find these short brass collars on the other type off murut swords
but their blade are not so long.
