we did not use the terms "pedang lurus" here ... I think it was a mistranslation somewhere when Indonesian sword terminology got there

Thanks , always ready to learn something new

About " there" and its whereabouts.

I am not sure where " there" is though....the word Pedang Lurus is used in 47 previous threads ( 48 with this now) on the fora of vikingsword, and on line even some Indonesian sites use it, next to many auction houses around the world.

In Indonesia it may have a general meaning ut its use, incorrect though it is, is very well established, I think, from what I see .
