Identifying African Spears
My great grandfather brought home these African Spears on a trip around the world. I am unsure as to the details about them, or where he got them in Africa, and I've reached dead ends in the memories of my relatives. If anyone can give me details based on the pictures below, I would be greatly appreciative.

They seem to be wooden, thus not functional but rather ceremonial/souvenire.

Many of our African collectors are in Europe .
You'll probably get some answers tomorrow . |

I think ariel is right, these are souvenirs from a trip to Africa in recent times.
Nice looking timber though. |
