Bowtarist, I have no idea, my dads trucking buddy saw them and offered a 100$ for them so they are gone now.

The same guy called and wants me to get a set of arrows and a bow for a wall hanger... I called my brother and told him to make him a bow and I am going to make him some arrows. you really think 100$ is not enogh. I thought i was making good $ on them when i got 3$ ea

I get $25 an arrow for an authentic looking Indian arrow! Its also a selling point to yell them what weight its spined for & that its real & useable, not just a show piece.

2-3" points I sell to the museum bring at least $10/piece. Course I am an NDN sellin to an NDN gift shop.  Look at some of the other stuff for sale online. There is a site that has a bunch of knappers selling thier stuff though the name eludes me at the moment. I'll look for it and get back to you.  A guy I know sells arrows and gets $30 each for them. So.......hmmmm....
