This example may as well be of Cirebon tangguh (or Cirebonan/Pasundan). Pamor material also looks jawa pesisir

Are we playing the tangguh game AGAIN?

I really do wish that I was good enough to be able to give a supportable tangguh opinion from images on a computer screen.

Semar, tell me, what is the feeling of the pamor texture? Is it fairly coarse and rough, or would you say it has a smooth, almost greasy feel?

Is the blade relatively light, or does it feel relatively heavy?

If the texture is smooth, almost greasy, it is very probably classifiable as Gresik.

Gresik blades look like this one, and Gresik did a lot of copies of other, genuinely prestigious, tangguhs.

I doubt that we can dignify the dhapur with a recognizable name, the pamor is a random m'lumah, thus wos wutah is good enough.
