Default African pieces to trade

Hello.
I have a vintage African Sjambok or whip and a metal curved spike with an animal hide grip available for trade toward South Pacific as well as African clubs, spears, or arrows. I am especially interested in clubs and spears from the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and Samoa. I am also posting other African weapons such as a Moroccan Nimcha, an Ethiopian Spear, and an Ethiopian Shotel as well.

The whip's overall length is just under 29 1/2" (when straightened).The handle features excellent knotwork, and the knot as well as the section in front of it is patinated from use.

The spiked piece measures 15 1/2" in length and the handle is securely wrapped as well as patinated.

The man that sold them to me stated that his father had purchased them in Northern California during the early 1970s as deaccessioned pieces from a museum, but did not know which museum. Both pieces still retain the collection numbers as you can see in the photos.
