A bugis(?) Keris for comment

I would also be very happy to hear people's definition of what constitutes Bugis. I'm new, I want to learn.

Regarding the cross section, I could try to take a picture, if it would help.

Thanks,
Leif

Wood is likely to be klengkeng.

Do you have any thoughts on the origins of the blade Alan?

Jawa/Madura, pretty ordinary sort of thing, can't really give a classification because of lack of distinguishing features.
