Hello I as well am a new member and have had some of the same questions that you pose, My african items consist of a pair of spears that at some point in time I will post, and a lone Dan mask, the question of is the market saturated with fake,repos etc, YES it is and when I started collecting these sorts of items it was in 1984 and there seemed at that time to be a nice selection af african items at the larger gun shows in the states ( my father was a weapons dealer) so I was along for the ride !! I supppose at that time it was all relative to your budget as it is now, so I also started collecting Nco swords and at that time they could be found for around 100 US and on occasion even less, I think that the link here will also help answer in greater
detail what I wish I could convay to you so eloquently http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/guide.html.
Cheers A.
