Hi Sepang,
After re-reading the comments, I found that you thought I was refering to tangguh Surakarta but what I was refering to is actually made in Surakarta area. Therefore, my comments would not be relevant.

In the first place, I did mentioned that I would not know the difference between a majapahit era and a mataram era piece.

It is a good learning experience. Thank you for your responses.

Great post, Mans. Thanks for the examples. Can you offer any opinion on the iron used in your examples as well as general info on the iron used in the different periods?
