In the photos I can see a keris that displays features of Tuban-Mataram, and also of Tuban- Pajajaran.

In the hand I would be prepared to declare for one or the other, but I will not do that from photographs.

I realize that we can't make a further discussion on tangguh. I'm trully understand and honor your idea of discussing about tangguh. by these pictures , I try to get some estimations about the dhapur style, the iron material from the colour of the iron, the pamor material ( whether it too bright, too white, too pure for a nikel pamor, or it already appropiate for its era), the dimention-size/lenght/wide, condong leleh, etc.
tuban-mataram and tuban-pajajaran . I prefer to say that we are not making a conclution aboot its tangguh. but we are trying to determine its style only.
the keris has a tuban style for sure. Let's see again the pictures of tuban style kerises with the same pamor

Dear Ferry,
Tuban style is probably the safest estimation, I agree too. But from which tangguh? That's still questionable.

Your post #8, are the photos of the same blade? The color of the hilt is a bit different. And also the type of hilt, IMHO. Your choice of warangkas, seem to 'move' to Yogya now Ferry?

in the last pictures I posted about 2 different kerises. the right keris with naradakandha hilt is my old collection, and the left one is my newest collection ( you can see the detail pictures above). both of them has the same pamor pattern and the same tuban style. My choice of warangkas has not 'move' to jogja yet. these are a trully fortunate coinsident that I found those kerises in jogja gayaman.
