Hi Detlef[, I realise that it is very difficult to attribute these knives to a particular ethnic group due to the large number of such groups in the Congo and the similarity of form and decoration that many of these weapons have to each other but I was just hoping that one of our very knowledgeable members on African weapons may know and care to share his knowledge but from the lack of response it doesn't seem so. Thanks to yourself and Vandoo for your replies.
