Digging this old thread up, because I might have new information about the origin of the sundang.
According to an European keris collector, who lived several years in the kelantan state of Malaysia, the sundang originates from south Thailand / North east Malaysia.
According to him it looks like Lankasuka, regarding the blade, ganja and also the silverwork on the sleeve.

As I have no knowledge about the region we are talking here, I hope some of you know more and could confirm or discuss it?

Thank you in advance,
Maurice
