Maybe I should also have said that quite some years ago I was shooting with a friends Snieder rifle and the barrel burst. Not my fault luckily as it was his reloads which were responsible. However,...

Not C96 IMHO

The shape is all wrong for the C96 as the magazine would not fit into the holster properly. Pic of a C96 holster attached. It is much more squared off to take the gun properly. These also came as a...

Yes it COULD be 19th century but I would not like to guarantee that. Lets say late 19th to mid 20th to be on the safe side. Others might be willing to date it more accurately :confused:

African Spears for ID

I am lead to believe that these spears are from Tanzania or at least that general region. Can anyone please confirm that. Also are they actual spears or purely decorative items?
