I'm still trying to locate the articles linked from this site.

http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/index.html

Also, don't forget to search the old fora!

I'll start hunting around for "The History of Steel in Eastern Asia"

It's nice to have but will be expensive! It focuses on East Asia is, thus, less relevant to your interests and most pics are available online. I'd drop this from the must-have list and suggest to add Solyom & Solyom for a bit of keris (Jawa) info. Karsten's kris disk gives an overview on keris diversity.

and Stone's Glossary.

The early reprints have a better pic quality.

Kai
