Wolf,

It was I who post the picture of the Bronze Ibo spear, thanks for you response. These things could well be 19th century. You promted me to refer to my copy of "History of Nigeria-Sir Alan Burns" which can be found through amazon and well worth having. Exploration of the south and the oil rivers started in the 1830s, trading following. A British protectorate established in 1885. There was exstensive military action in the region up to the first world war. This extract helps give back ground to the objects.
