Nice non-tourist not really ancient but not really new sturdy and servicible Bornean mandau. (Old weapon collecting Deadheads will get the title reference). Solid and heavy blade with the remains of writing/imprint - Chevrolet, perhaps? Blade is not from flat barstock, so that's most likely a joke. Base of blade is 5/16" thick, tapering down to 1/8" near the tip. Any comments on possible origins and the imprint are welcome.
