Default Gobang Soelangkar & Badi Tjondre/Tjoendrik Tjirebonan

Hullo everybody!

Apologies for the late response.

I would accept both items as Soenda:

- The longer blade I'd classify as: Pedang Abet - Gobang Paoet Njere Soelangkar, or simply, Gobang Soelangkar.

- The shorter blade I'd classify as: Badi Tjondre (or Tjoendrik), or simply Badi.

The dress on both are typical Tjirebon. However, in yesteryear, Tjirebon encompassed such areas as Koeningan etc. and was 'influential' in such areas as Tegal and Banjoemas. Thus, I have used the term 'Tjirebonan' (= in the Tjirebon style).

Best,
