I think this is a Bugis keris but not Straits. It looks like it could be "tanah besar" that is, from Sulawesi itself.
The hilt and sheath form do not look Sulawesi to me at all. Perhaps Sipakatuo can share his insights into this keris form since he is from Sulawesi, and more likely to be better informed on the native keris forms than the rest of us.
