Well if not alloyed with silver. It is most likey a tin solder wire. Or possibly Britannia metal which is not that far removed from tin solder.

Hi Ben,
There are two styles of pandat but they are Sidin and Bennah according to Shelford (see examples in order). The ones with the resembling scabbard end as your parang are Sidin. So I assume that you suspect that it's the Sidin version that somehow is connected to Iban? On jimpul variations I consider the following two jimpul too even if they don't have the squarish end of the blade. Michael |

Alpaca / Berlin silver : copper: 64 à 65 % zinc: 23 à 24% nickel: 12% But I can imagine if it is locally made any combination of materials could be used.  best regards, Willem |

Hi Ben, I didn't know this....am I right that the 'white' of the boiled egg changes colour when in contact with silver ? Can you 'gauge' the silver content by the speed of the 'reaction'.... is the colour change 'darker'... the higher the silver content ? Could you explain..Thank you Regards and Happy New Year David |
