Hello everyone,

I have posted these photos of Congo weapons in the hope that the more knowledgeable members will confirm or otherwise the nams and origins that I have used as I have found it very difficult in some cases to differentiate between tribes. They may also prove of some interest to other members.
Thanking you in anticipation.
