Sorry, but the links on the forum are not the links I copied / pasted.
It bugged somewhere.
I will put the right link back, but it will have to copy collet manually, and the normally it should be good.

Athanase, there is a 24 hour time limit allowed that a member can edit a post.
If you have problems contact David or myself.

Perhaps i can help....:
when you press the link you arrive on a page with all kind of miscellaneous artifacts.
But when you press then the the small magnifying glass (as Athanase told us) and then insert the word "Kriss" pages full of krisses are shown.
I added the parts of the screen you need.

Thank you Seerp. The collection is not bad but the descriptions are miserable, I will visit them and propose my assistance, it shows the lack of interest towards the kris in France...

Even I who am still far from being a specialist I could correct very numerous errors and bring precision.
There is in reserve widely of which to go up a temporary exhibition on the Indonesian weapons because they have a little of everything, even Moluccas parang.
The only museum which I know or have little to see Kriss in Paris it is the Guimet museum (museum of Asian arts)but there is no data base online (exept for photos and some rare objects).

I re-visited the Asian Arts Museum recently and they only exhibit 2 krisses with partially wrong descriptions...
