Kai,

You mean the VOC. Verenigde Oostindische Company. That's dutch. Translated in english it is: United East-Indonesian Company.

Actually, I read quite a bit of their gazetteers, etc. but that was before my interest in SEA blades became serious. However, I vaguely recall list of ethnographic items obtained from surveyed places which included Keris and other stuff of interest. I need to check that out again, sometime...

Kai
