Hello Detlef,
Regarding your silver scabbard, I also believe that it is an old piece from Sulawesi, back in 1997 I saw similar pieces in a reputed antique shop located in Jalan Somba Opu in Ujung Pandang, with even a distinction between Makassarese and Bugis styles. Unfortunately I already had too many krisses in my suitcase.....
Best regards
