BTW all my copies have been sold-out but you may get one from Ethnographic Art Books (Leiden museum library).

Thank you, Jean. Leiden Museum are selling a copy on AbeBooks, and hopefully I can snatch it up before too long.

There are many pictures of the steps in the forging process in this book.

Thank you, Rick. This sounds like the one for me. I'm learning very quickly that these books aren't so easy to come by
What about "The Javanese Kris" by Groneman? I see that it has some 20 pages dedicated to the process of forging Javanese weapons. Between the two books, which has the most comprehensive detail on forging?
