Solely trade points, or native made metal points too? Curtis

I made this one out of a band saw blade.  Single bevel honed to shaving sharp.  It was lethal but I think the side notches hurt the penetration.

Here's a selection of Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho points. Just a sampling of different styles.

A couple more points to add to the variety. This is the Lakota version of the multi-barbed point. The barbs alternate in these, whereas they are symmetric on the Cheyenne and Arapaho versions. Sorry for the poor photo quality.  Curtis
