Thanks Alan for adding the info. I have seen it myself during the cleansing of Pusaka Kerajaan Gowa and Bone which I have documented (pictures and video). I will post some of the pictures here. The Tatarapang that now in Gowa is actually a gift from Kerajaan Demak (exchange). I am agree with Zooneveld that it is not certain that the blade was made in Bugis. I have been in and out of Sulawesi few times visiting village to village seeing panre bessie (Pande Besi) and saw few people who own kerisses and none have the same keris like Gustav has posted. The shape and the style are out of Sulawesi.
