Center is a leaf bladed African and the far right a fishing gig. The others only guesses.-- bbjw

It looks like the second from the right with the third from the left makes a good Turkana spear when connected to a wooden handle. How long is the ruler, 30cm?
Here is another example:

The far right is from Ethiopia.

The far left one should be tribes Mongo or Kutu or Saka from Congo (acc to Westerdijk: Ijzerwerk van central Afika)

Yes, it's foot long rule for scale
Most shafts were damaged in shipping. Some had antique repairs from use or being mounted on a wall for display (drilled holes) maybe early English collection.
