Dagger indonesian?
 

Opinion please. Estimate ? Someone collect it maybe ?

we only discuss keris on the keris forum so i am transferring this post to the Ethno page.

yes, it is an Indonesian blade , generally defined as Batik or Badek , your example appears to have a parrot hilt or perhaps a cockatoo. Your example doesn't strike me as a particularly remarkable specimen, nevertheless some people would place them in their collection. Used by the Bugis or Mankassar people of Sulawesi

Note that this knife is in auction until the 21st of april.
