Pedang lurus?

Von Zonneveld:

"A variant of the pedang usually with a beautifully decorated silver hilt and scabbard. It has an almost straight, partly two-edged blade tapering towards the point. The hilt is round and near the end slightly curved. At the blade the hilt may have a broadened cross segment exactly fitting the scabbard with its boardened mouthpiece. Some examples have European blades."
