Hello Alan,
For me this tangguh Koripan information is a revelation for understanding the origin of the old and medium quality Javanese blades attributed to tangguh Mataram. If possible could you show us the pictures of few representative specimens of these Koripan blades?
Do you know of any other large kris making center in Central Java or East Java (Tuban?) in the past?
Thank you and best regards
Jean
