Yeah Ferry, I think its Tuban too, but I really dislike being too positive when I don't have the thing in my hand.
Photos can lie.
What happens if you get it your hand and you find it is short? or a thin, wimpy little thing? or the iron is wrong? there are a heap of keris out there that look like something in a pic, but as soon as you pick them up you realise you've got something made by some village smith in back of beyond, and you really couldn't give it a justifiable tangguh at all --- not that that stops a lot of people.
Yes, keris that can be classified as Blambangan are pretty few and far between.
The dress on that one you missed sounds quite exceptional, but its a fact of life that we can't have everything we might like.
Deprivation is good for the soul.
