I noted this more as a Bugis influence than to see this as a true Bugis blade. This looks to have been made by a very unskilled smith who may have seen Bugis blades or was trying to make something like it from memory.
Yes, Bugis or not this blade is not a masterpiece, I propose to wait the better pictures from Gaetan for making a more accurate assessment.
