I had the privilege of working with Spotted Horse reproductions, (John Arrasmith), one of the production companies supplying a lot of "stuff" for the movie. John called me up and asked me if I would make a few iron arrowheads for him. He said he had a contract to supply "stuff" for a new movie going into production. At the time we did not even know the name of it. I said sure, how many do you want. He said how about 3000+ of them. You can guess there was a pregnant pause for a while. I said “your kidding.” Well the short of this is I worked for GE at the time. My friend worked in a small machine shop in Bristol Ct. He agreed to make a punch and die and the owner donated a coil of iron and one night I punched out about 3000 of them. I also punched out 5 Sterling silver heads and John made the arrows and gave one each to Kevin Costner, Mary McDonnell, Graham Green, and Wes Studi. He sent the last one back to me and I still have it. You can see some of the heads in the photo. If anyone wants one just Email me your address and I will send you one. The arrow you see Kevin pull out of the body on the plains has a head "well" corroded. That is my story and I'm sticking to it.
