Another thing, is this a Sulawesi keris? As stated in Blu's posting in the other thread, Strait bugis uses lower pendongkok. This one uses that kind of pendongkok, but i think its Sulawesi due to the akwardness of the dress. It kinda wider than average. However the blade is thinner than an average bugis keris. What do u think of the quality of the blade? I think its average. Can u guys please comment? Can somebody post some pictures of Sulawesi Bugis keris and Sumatran/Bugis keris to ease the explaination? Would appreciate that very much.

These are the pictures of my second posting. Forgot to attach in the message.

Looks Sulawesi to me. But, what about the blade? Its thin and looks like straits bugis ones.

That's a classical Riau Bugis keris, just like mine on the brown background.

Another Sulawesi keris with a N Malay (?) blade. We see all sorts of keris forms in Sulawesi dress...
