    Nice find! Certainly a mean looking blade, when you're able to please post pics of the other weapons. My sword collection is all American/European/Japanese so I'm not familiar at all with African weapons, though I'll see what I can find on the net. Also, how did you get these, were they all from antique shops?

    A bit of internet searching brought me what looks like your ceremonial axe:

    another of a similar axe:

    Not sure if these will be of help but perhaps your library has them:

    How are you storing/preserving these?

    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
