I think the gravest mistake in Gardner's is his assertion that keris was probably originated in Malaysia (whatever that means) - quite surprising considering "Malaysia" was formed in 1963.
Keris terminology used are often mixed up between Malay and Jawanese.
I can go on and on pointing out mistakes made 70 years ago, but we all know that most of the mistakes were corrected by other writers....
