    Lots of history there. Impressive.
    My assault rifle self-identifies as a flintlock.
    If you want to reduce obesity, banning spoons is pointless.
    If you self-identify by your victimhood, you condemn yourself to remaining a victim.

    Very nice collection. My stuff is all in storage at my parent's place because my basement flooded the week before Christmas - it was my Africa room.
    My dad spent his life collecting African things, so have I. When everything is back in place I'll add mine. I only have a few spears and some knobkerries, but plenty of trophies and similar.

    I was thinking the same.

    The shield with the series of horizontal stripes identifies a certain Regiment of the impi.

    Thank you for sharing. My kindle reading these days is "London to Ladysmith via Pretoria" by W. Churchill, good reading (although biased) about the Boer war.

    My OCD went off the charts with the one rifle facing the opposite direction as the rest. VERY cool collection though.

    My late father in law in Holland showed me a 7 x 57 Mauser used by an uncle of his in the Boer war. The uncle left SA after the defeat in the Boer war and his wife died in an English concentration camp among many thousands non-combatants that did. Apparently the old fellow was quite a shot as the rifle was engraved with 36 lines and dates and locations of battles. It had the inscription "In God we place faith and Mauser is his angel" or something like this, the translation from Dutch to English may have left some nuances out. I believe that the rifle now is in a private collection in Eindhoven. Given the battles it saw, it was in very good condition. John, your collection is fantastic!
