Hi Martin,

The foot of the scabbard from the Sunda sword will have looked like the both shown examples from older threads.

Best regards,

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.
