Anything is possible.
However, when presented with a Madura keris, the balance of probability indicates that that keris was made in Madura.
Certainly it could have been made in Kalimantan, or anywhere else for that matter, but it is not probable that it was. Possible, yes, probable, no.
Tangguh is about establishing an applicable classification, based on comparison of indicators with certain fairly specific parameters. It is not necessarily about fixing origin of a blade at a certain time and place.It may indicate time and place of origin, but it does not necessarily have to do so.
A number of examples of other blades have been posted, but none of these blades look like a Madura blade.
However, this a matter of opinion. I have given my opinion, anybody else is perfectly entitled to a different opinion.
