Identifying artifacts is both fun and frustrating at times. The same point may be called by different names depending on what part of the Country it was found. Many points evolved into another point and if you catch a piece in the middle of the evolution, what the heck is it (a perfect example is the Dalton Hemphill)? And then there's the "individual" denominator. How many knappers have started out working to make one style of point, run into a few issues, and changed horses in the middle of the stream to salvage the piece? Had I been alive a few thousand years ago, anybody that found my points would be scratching their heads.

So...here are 3 pieces that I can issue a COO (Certificate of Origin) on.

Top is an Obsidian blade in a Cholla handle.
Center is a Brazilian Agate blde in a Cholla handle.
Bottom is a Fort Hood Flint blade in a Marble handle.

I don't really know. I usually give them to family or hunting buddys as gifts. I've only sold one and that was to a guy that wanted it for his son. I have a whole box of them and my wife keeps asking me what I plan to do with them so they may end up in the Trading Post before too long.

I make primitive sheaths for them out of saddle leather but don't usually make the sheath til I know who's getting it so I'll know if it's left or right handed.
