Poison arrow foreshafts. I'm gonna go with African. Or harpoon tips. Nah. Not harpoon. Nowhere to attatch a retrieval line.

I am sticking with some sort of dart point.  Unsure of the origin, but definitely the right size for a dart/atlatl and too long of a tang for an arrow point.  Could be South/Central American.

Looks to me like some sort of spearhead fishing points. Wish I knew...

Could also be atlatl darts.

Great guesses' every one! I think our friend Bue from Norway got closest, first, in one post.....They are arrow fore-shafts, made of iron, from the Bura culture/tribe in what was Niger in North/Central Africa. They are a little over 100 years old...THX for playing.....Bue, p.m. me with your address....If you've just got to have one of these, P.M. me, We might can help... We traded for these a while back, to give, as gifts, to some of our Trad buddies...THANKS again for playing....Skyler and Don
