African Pieces to Trade for Pacific Items

[Clubs & Arrows]

Hello I am looking to trade these African pieces for Pacific Island material.

1. Mbole wide flat blade is made of a thin piece of metal.
One of the exterior lines on the blade have come through the opposite side. 22 3/4" overall length.

2. Sjambok whip with an overall length is just under 29 1/2" (when
straightened) and has a great knotted pommel as well as a collection
number by the pommel.

3. Sudanese spear head has some chisel work below
the blade on the neck. 22".

4. Heavy (about 6 1/2 pounds) brass ceremonial type sickle from the
collection of Armand Labbe (formerly of the Bowers Museum in Santa
Ana, California). Don't know exact origin other than the provenance. Just under 22 1/2".

5. 38" Nimcha with broken blade tip. Horn pommel (horn has old tape/label residue that can be cleaned off). Blade has some markings. Scabbard is a little worn.

6. Knife with the brass wire wrapping (possibly Shona) and the scabbard have
nice age, and the blade is very sharp. The handle has an old chip and
the tip of the scabbard appears to have been cracked and glued at the tip, but this is mostly hidden under wrapped wire. Overall length is 21 3/4".

7. Maasai 20 1/2" Seme Knife with hide covered scabbard. Blade has some weight to it toward the tip.

8. 9 1/2" mystery knife with 3 out of the original 4 bell & chain ornaments. Blade has inlay the looks like lime. I've seen it referred to as a Circumcision Knife, but I'm not real sure of that. The wooden inserts inside the handle has dried/shrunk a bit, causing the brass wraps to loosen slightly.

I am always looking for older Polynesian or Melanesian war or dance clubs, as well as older Solomon Island canes.

Sorry about the picture order, it seems that they got a bit jumbled. Email me if you need more pics of particular items.

Thank you,
Joe
