Rare unusual stout bronze & iron weapons

[notnow16]

A group of extremely stout weapons featuring roman (?) blades and faceted pikes. All blades are iron and all the unique handles are bronze. I would feel confident with any of these pieces battling an automobile. They are all solid enough to pierce a car without flinching, are extremely stout and battle -worthy.
The only other reference to weapons of this type I have found was a posting by forum member KATANA. We may have obtained these from the same source, a San Jose collector who got them in Nigeria as a merchant marine. I have a total of twenty pieces and have never found anyone with a definitive familiarity or any scholarly information on these so all impressions and any ideas about their origin are encouraged. thanks for your help! notnow16

The blades appear to be made of iron. In my oppinion they are all very recent producion (last 50 years or so). :shrug:

Yes the iron blades are imbedded in the cast bronze handles. Most I agree seem as if they could be new. There are a few pieces though that have a complex age patina that would be difficult to simulate in just a few decades. They are puzzling and I just have to ask more questions...

The bronze work appears to me to be recent also.
