Tim,
Thanks for your reply! This knife definitely resembles your bayonet.

The spears' total lengths are 2.5 feet long. The larger spearhead is a foot long, the other is about 9 inches long.

The knife's blade is about 7.5 inches long, the knife is about 11 inches long total. The woven white material feels like leather, but I am not sure what it is.

My grandfather would have been there around the 1920's, I am 20 years old. I am not completely sure when, I will find out and post it. He also brought back lots of wood and ivory carvings that are beautiful.

Do you have any idea what spears and knives like these are worth?
