Gold Keris - Malay with Bugis Influence?

[Battara]

Here are pictures of the hilt, and an emblem on the back of the scabbard that sort of looks like the name "Allah" or perhaps a bismallah.

I will try to test the metal tomorrow and let you know my findings.

After seeing the hilt i am still inclined towards Sulawesi.

The hilt looks like a Minang styled form.

The 2nd pic is a calligraphy of "Allah" and "Muhammad", inter-weaved. The 'Muhammad' is a little stylized.
