Well fellas, it ain't mine yet... 
 
However, the hilt's carving is something really new to me. And it looks like modernized motives being used. Pardon my knowledge, but that's what I see. 
 
Is the carving only have Bugis' motives on the throat, instead of the whole carving works, Kai?  
 
Yeah, David, Bugises were seafaring people, and now I understand why their influence is everywhere...BTW which part of the sheath are Sulawesi? The pendok? or the sampir / wronko?
