Hello everyone,
I am trying to identify these items. I have searched tiredly and have exhausted all areas trying to figure these items out. Where they are from, what year they are from, what area of the world they are from. I need as much info as possible so I can put these items in my insurance policy.

I uploaded them but they never posted. They are on there now. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I hope you can tell me something about them.

Hi,
You have classical Abyssinian gasha - shield. This is original one. The spears are, I think, of Somali style. But could be from Ethiopia (e.g. Ogaden), too.
