OK, that makes it easy.

As soon as I get a bit of spare time, I'll dig out some references for you.

Turun Temuruning I doubt you will find in any public source, however, I could do a foto copy for you.

Harsrinuksmo has value as a reference as the need arises, it is actually a compilation of his earlier publications with some additional material. A lot of Javanese ahli keris will differ on many points --- well, that is true in the past, I tend to believe that much of the old knowledge & belief has disappeared in the present generation of keris literate people, it might not be so now.

Haryoguritno can be read cover to cover, not a big job, its easy reading, he gathered information from knowledgeable people for years, so the foundations are there but my personal opinion is that the contents of this publication should be accepted as an addition to knowledge & belief, not as a presentation of the whole.
