What are they?

[mmc]

Trying to figure out what these are. I don't have a lot of information but here is what I have...

These were given to a coworker by his grandfather, grandfather is deceased so we can't ask him any more questions.

They were supposedly from one of T. Roosevelt's African safaris. You can see they were dated 1912 then the tag was revised to read 1909?

They are made of metal. They are approx. 12-18 inches long. I know that's not exactly a definitive number but I've never laid hands on them. If need be, I'm sure I can get a better measurement.

I have my guess/theory but I would rather hear what you all have to say so not to influence your opinions.

It's hilarious that so much attention has been given to the tags rather than the objects in question.

you need to use every clue available especially if its dated.

They look cast versus forged. Hints of being non African made.

If we're just browsing, employees are dogging us every second as though we're gonna try to steal something. Yet EVERY SINGLE TIME I'm looking for something specific, not a soul to be found...often not even at the register! Don't even go there anymore.
