Default peudeueng peusangan from Aceh

I stumbled across a peudeung peusangan from Aceh on ebay and it had a buy it now... so I did . This sword is a variant of another sword that I have posted on the old forum here for information ( http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001890.html ) . In Albert van Zonneveld’s book “Traditional Weapons of the Indonesian Archipelago” there are four pictures: figs 391- 394. He lists them under “pedang, type 1”. They have been called peudeueng ( this one a peudeueng peusangan). And now this seller called it a "SIKIN PASANGAN" ( Tom Hyle noted in the earlier post that they were called sikkin ) . Pitures of the one I have comming can be seen as ebay item#7329388113 . I will post better pictures when it arrives.
It will look similar to this one but without the scabbard

The variant I already have has a firangi style handle called Hulu Meu Apet in Aceh


As always I look forward to whatever information anyone here has on these and any comments . Thanks in advance
