Bugis or Sumatran?

Hello David,

Yes for sure! But I remember a thread where Dave Henkel has shown differents but I can't find it. When I remember correct the handle form and the gandar and atasan form can differ!?

Regards,
Detlef

For me, culturally Bugis, but as to geographic point of blade and dress origin, I am unable to form an opinion.

The sheath looks like a typical Sulawesi Bugis sheath, hilt most likely is Sulawesi, blade looks a bit more like Sumatran Bugis, but, if original to sheath, likely is Sulawesi too. Well, the fit is not the most ideal one.
