Allegedly from the 1600's. Bugis Kris : Raja Mandar - Ammana Wewang.

Has Arabic and Old Buginese language inscriptions, Does anyone know where to get Old Buginese language looked at/or translated.

Yes i see this keris from Makassar, because the model luk is Bugis model, and i see SEPPU (hamon) in 'baja' or SEPPU on the sharp side. This is special keris and very rare because it has a bloodline, there is rarely a keris Bugis like this. Usually found on keris used in warfare by freedom fighters and the army earlier times.
