sucker for African sickles

I am far from knowledgeable on these matters but I think this type of weapon with various styles is found in an extensive area of the Congo but also in the S. Sudan, areas influenced by Zande, Mangbetu. I would even think this form or version of the form might have been found in what is present day Ethiopia.
I am really going to town cleaning these two. They are basically only covered very light rust except and a bit except for two horrible rust cankers on each blade. I am in the process of getting rid of them. It is proving hard work indeed. I am nearly there but I will have to polish the blades a bit as the rust remover is a little harsh. pics to follow.
