Gardner 1936 PDF

Hi Ganjawulung,
The title is misleading as there are two reference works on the keris with similar titles:
Keris and other Malay weapons by G.B. Gardner
and
The Keris and other Malay weapons by A.H. Hill

Yes the MBRAS edition (A.H. Hill) is fairly available and an interesting work (I think we have the same edition). Gardner's work is a bit more elusive. Compare the PDF to the MBRAS book and you will see the difference.

Happy Reading

Yes Ganja, TC is correct. While the book you are referring to does have an article by Gardner included it is not the same as the 1936 book which is completely by Gardner. This book was last reprinted in 1973. I remain hopeful that it will be reprinted again by Orchid Press.

Thanks David, and tc,
I hope some day I'll get it, at least the copy of it... Happy weekend...
