Jean, I never said this blade is Minang. I said: "Blade is a fairly typical South Sumatran one, perhaps one still can see strong West Java influences here. I wouldn't call this blade Bugis."

Yes, and one of the variants, according to Jensen, can be found on Minangkabau keris. Of course, one should notice, Jensens attributions are sometimes pretty questionable. According to Jensen, we also should believe, Minangkabau produced only small sized Bahari and 3 Luk blades.
