Would this also be a Sunda sword, and would the term "gobang" be appropriate?

Hello Dave,

Sunda yes, gobang no! It's a nice Sunda pedang/sword but not a gobang.

Just won a gobang, sadly without scabbard, by a German auction, here some pics.

Yes, I remember this one!
A pity I wasn't the one who bought it.

Best wishes,

Please, send him my regards.
