Magnificent!!!! They look like Congo clubs to me. Maybe more like East African.

Really nice... ....almost certainly African....although I haven't seen the 'conical' type before.

Tchokwe have clubs like yours, but they are not very known by weapons collectors.
So, maybe they are from this part of Congo/Angola.
Some pics for exemples .
