Now I have the opportunity to ask for some advice from all you fellow students of the keris.

In late March I will arriving in Rome, and expect to spend about a month in Italy.

During my time in Italy I hope to visit Rome, the Cinque Terre, Tuscany, the Lakes Region, and Venice.

After Venice I hope to have about 10 days in which to visit other places in Europe. My schedule is reasonably flexible, and funds permitting, I should be able to delay my return to Australia if I find that necessary.

I have already received some advice from a good friend in respect of keris in several museums.

I would welcome any and all advice in respect of keris held in European museums, and if any special arrangements are necessary to view these keris.

My very particular interest is keris which entered Europe during the early period of contact with South East Asia, and most especially with Jawa.
