even though we usually try to keep the postings on this forum to only keris, i wouldn't mind having a look at that sword just to establish visually that the talismanic concept of picit markings was established in Bugis culture.

The blade shows some typical Bugis features and I am confident that this blade originates from Sulawesi.
I will try to comment on picit from other areas later...
