Default A sekin

When I bought this sekin the seller told me it comes not from Sumatra but from a hight-rank Sulawesi bugis pirate. Could be this assertion true (I always red on books sekin sekin are sumatran weapons )?
Please opinions about from Forum's friend are welcome.

This sekin is very balanced .... could be used as a funny balance .
The hilt is made by ivory (sea?) while the sheat is made by two bufalo horn's pieces connected by three silver pieces.
The blade is really very sharp, hard and pointed.
