Gentlemen, thank you so much for all the scholarship and effort you have put into helping me! Can I buy you a drink at Baltimore?

On the very first pic: are those true axes or recades?

Axes are not my speciality. In my opinion they are cerimonial axes from different parts of Africa. If I remember well AF3 is from Songye people, a nice example. The knife AF2 is from Algeria or Tunisia, from the end of XIX century or the beginning of XX century.
Italy is quite far from Baltimore but in case I shall ever travel overthere I shall be glad to have a drink together.
