A dominant feature of a keris that may be classified as tangguh Mataram is that the blumbangan is square.

The blumbangan in the keris under discussion is bata adeg.

It cannot be classified as Mataram of any type.

Pak Alan, thank you for your explanation..By the way, you said most of the features are acceptable for Majapahit keris, however you said ganja is straight and thin to be classified as Majapahit keris. But I believe you have pre assumption regarding this keris tangguh anyway since you have handled thousands even millions of kerises. If you do not mind kindly value this keris personally..thank you
