Two more African Axes for comment
Just received these 2 which I believe are from Tanzania and likely the Nyamwezi people.

All comments welcome.

Hi Kubur,
The gun shown in your photo at #13 above, looks to be a pinfire, as the hammer noses overlap the barrels at the breech.(They are not cocked either so it is obviously a posed pic)....
