Hi Maurice,

read the two threads I have given the links. I am very inclined to believe the the statement from Sipakatuo since he is from Sulawesi and the co author from the book "Senjata Pusaka Bugis". I will contact him via pm and email if he can have a look and can give us further informations.
BTW, there was a old collection label by the sword where it is written that it is a "Celebes Pedang Bengkok from 1840". The sword coming from an old netherlands collection.
I am as well never have seen swassa/suassa by Sulawesi pieces, but the small ring at the handle is.

Best regards,

Detlef
