It is a peudeung, pedang or Sikin" ( Sikim , Sikkim, Sekem ). The reason there are so many names for these swords is that there are 10 subethnic groups of acehnesse (such as Aceh , Gayo, Alas, Aneuk Jamee, Melayu Tamiang, Kluet, Devayan, Sigulai, Haloban and Julu )
It is a very nice example. Congatulations.

These peudeung can also be found with Hulu tapa guda but I have only see a few of those and unfortunately do not own one.
