Not easy read but interesting nevertheless.

Thank you!

This is a remarkable work, and includes many pictures of fabulous keris and hilts, some from private owners, and even a few (from auction catalogues etc.) whose present location is not known, so that even if one's German is not up to dealing with the text, it is well worth looking at for the pictures alone. The plates follow after the end of the text. The substantial captions (which are scattered through the main text, for the first group of photographs) may be worth putting into a translation website, to give some idea of the items, even if the main text may be too complex for translating websites.

It may save readers a bit of time to have the page numbers where the captions are printed:
Pl. 1-54, and (relating to 'Metallurgische Untersuchungen'), pl. A1-A73, the latter including many microphotographs and graphs. Plates described, pp. 29-30 (pl. 1-7), 48 (pl. 8-10), 59 (pl. 11-12), 73-4 (pl. 13-18), 93-4 (pl. 19-24), 111 (pl. 25-7), 143-6 (pl. 28-40), 168 (pl. 41-4), 196-8 (pl. 45-53), 280 (pl. 54), and 323-40 (pl. A1-A73).

Please let me know of any mistakes I have made in these numbers!

The link given above does work for me, Jose. Maybe it did download the PDF file without opening it?

Thanks, Tim!

The last captions: 323-41 (or 323-43 including the last associated table).

You're welcome, all! Note that I'm only the messenger and not the author nor the online host: Feel free to email IFICAH/AW for praise or comments, too!

BTW, I got some international feedback that an English translation would be more than welcome. Not wanting to promise anything: Can we please have a poll who would be seriously interested to obtain an electronic version in English and possibly how much you'd be ready to spend for it?

Regards,
Kai
