African weapons set

Here is an African weapons set, which is waiting for buyers in an antique shop in Istanbul. The seller says it is from Kongo.Perhaps.. It is a field which I have no knowledge at all and is far from me, but i know there are collectors of African weapons in the forum and just pictured the items for their pleasure and to enlarge my general knowledge about different types of etnoghraphic arms a bit if they would like to discuss on them.
regards
