Extreme Skewness of Mahesa Lajer

Pak Alan, you mentioned that it is wise not to align tangguh with era, really I do not quite understand. The name of each tangguh itself is adopted from particular kingdom such Pajajaran, Majapahit, etc so that it will refer to certain period of related kingdom. Let say if we call one keris as Pajajaran keris so we will imagine that this keris was made in Pajajaran kingdom period. But if we do not align tangguh with era, Pajajaran blade does not mean it was made in Pajajaran kingdom period, is it?
Then also you mentioned that very few keris pre 1500, actually so many "Majapahit" keris are being offered by seller in the market, surely the seller has classified their keris into certain tangguh base on features of tangguh then they will convince that the keris fit labeled tangguh whenever serious buyer asking tangguh. So in fact they are cheating us if we do not align tangguh with era, tangguh Majapahit but exact date of the production is out of Majapahit area or later period.
Regarding condong leleh, I have ever heard there is Hasta Brata to consider blade angle, I do not know what is Hasta Brata, probably you are willing to explain that.
Sorry my english is bad or sounds Indonesian-English..Hopefully you can understand what I mean..
Thanking you in advance
