Excellent call Roy! I've gotten so used to having that as a standard that I forget to mention it Although written in 1930s , it serves as the spine of any library on serious arms study, and certainly has flaws from nearly 8 decades of new findings and subsequent research....but essential benchmark just the same.

History of Steel has sold out .
Try Amazon, Abebooks, etc .

I have 3 copies; but they will go with the weapons I contributed to the exhibition .

Thanks everyone.
I'm still trying to locate the articles linked from this site.
I'll start hunting around for "The History of Steel in Eastern Asia" and Stone's Glossary.
Much appreciated.

Also, don't forget to search the old fora!

It's nice to have but will be expensive! It focuses on East Asia is, thus, less relevant to your interests and most pics are available online. I'd drop this from the must-have list and suggest to add Solyom & Solyom for a bit of keris (Jawa) info. Karsten's kris disk gives an overview on keris diversity.

and Stone's Glossary.

The early reprints have a better pic quality.
