Thanks for your responses! My friend, whom I have bought several ethnographic weapons from over time, is a rather excitable person. He was almost angry that I suggested that the curved blade knife was not African. "How could a knife from the Philippines end up in Africa, HUH?" I let the subject pass.

There's an old rule in collecting, "Buy the item at hand, not the story".
