Number eight appears to be a Chinese lance. Similar examples are not too uncommon. Number nine could be from anywhere with Chinese influence and a dramatic flair. South East Asia is quite likely with Vietnam a very likely possibility. The others all look African to me.

I collecting spears myself and would put them to an african origin as well, but I have problems with number 4, which I like best. It seems to have a higher quality.
In my opinion the items will not come from central africa but maybe from the east coast all around first half of the 20th century. The spike like spearpoint has as well influence fron cameroon.
Number 9 is an exception and looks like a very modern variant of e fishing spear.

alle the best with your collection
