Title: Iowa copy cat
Post by: iowabow on March 02, 2011, 11:26:26 am

All but one of these arrowheads is from my neighbor’s collection. He collected the points from this region. I wanted to make a replica for a point that was about 100 grains. The point I copied was 106 and mine turned out to be 100 on the dime. He had a hand full of points that looked very similar. I don’t know the style. Comments welcomed.
