Hi Ade
Welcome to the forum.
I can definitely tell you that you are in the correct place to learn and I hope you are not too disappointed with the news you are getting.
Ethnographic weaponry is a fascinating area to study and collect and the more you study the more you will get out of the hobby.
When you get into the hobby and you pick up genuine pieces you will instantly know they are good by the feel, smell, color and functionality.
I have several pieces I purchased which were tourist pieces but I still like them as they were an introduction into the hobby and did teach me something.
Hope to see more of you here and best of luck
Regards
Ken
