As for publication, I recommend Kris Disk for its clear regional grouping and easy to understand approach.
PS. That third keris is a killer!  |
Thank you for the compliment, but I am truly unworthy of it. I happened upon two unsold auction lots with these keris in them. Luckily from having a few keris prior, and the knowledge I have gleaned from this site, and despite the poor auction pictures, I didn't think I'd get hurt for what I paid...in fact, I wasn't even able to see the blades of the six best ones...even a blind sow finds an acorn in the dark occasionally!
I am truly honored to be their caretaker now...thank you for the book recommendation...I'll begin looking for it!
Respectfully,
John
