Congo Pygmy Arrow heads

I couldn't 'resist' these.
Recently purchased these from America, originally bought and owned by the sellers Grandfather. Whom bought them from an importer based in New York in the '40's.

Nice little items, nicely forged .... and interesting. Would anyone know if the description of these originating from the Pygmy tribes of the Congo would be accurate or likely. The 'hand' picture gives you a good guide to the size.. they look like spearheads of the Lilliputians, interesting to see things from Gulliver's perspective.

All comments gratefully received.

Regards David
