I have found you can take an item to ten antique specialists and get ten different responses. This antique dealer in NY claims his set is a RARE COLLECTION OF HAND CARVED AFRICAN HUNTING WEAPONS on eBay. <active auction> and even though it is lacking the bronze hardware, they are a similar hunting kit. Mine had a bowie style knife and a locking Japanese blade walking cane, which were added to the collection I guess. Got mine at a local military family estate sale with this mixed metal platter from the middle east.
