The pamor is too refined and complex for a Bugis blade... there are Bugis and Bugis influence blades wth excellent examples of pamors.. notable those from Palembang,Trenganu & Sumbawa... but i believe this is far too refined and does not give a feel of a bugis blade...

This blade may also be missing a ganjar...

I was thinking it looked a bit odd for an Iras .
The pamor seems well controlled and imo goes along nicely with the grain of the Gonjo ................errrr wrongko .
