Nice little Sulawesi badik, I like the pamor and the interesting loops for the belt.
Is the handle from wood or ivory? The silver work isn't the best, sorry, but better in front than in back.
Many silver covered badik scabbards are present with inscriptions, see my both examples in silver. Age I guess between 1930 and 1940.
Regards,
Detlef
