Hi Luc,
Superb. A collection that I put at the same level as the one of the British Museum.
By the way, do you know that in the Island of Aix in front of Rochefort ( France) there is a small Museum on African weapons that is quite interesting.
Bravo
Regards
Michel

Superb display. The one with the matrix engraved on the blade does seem familiar.
