Anasazi/Cliff Dweller Arrow Replica 2 (NEW!)
$150.00This Replica Anasazi/Cliff Dweller arrow is a copy of one that was found in the Dyck Cliff Dwelling in the Verde Valley of central Arizona in the 1960’s. The vast majority of the arrows recovered from the cliff dwelling were broken and unfortunately the arrow I based this replica on was no exception.
This arrow has a main shaft of reed and a foreshaft made from a hardwood shoot. It’s fletched with turkey tail feathers and the feathers are quite short and small, just like they were on the original artifact. The paint design under the feathers copies the original artifact, but the paint design at the front of the arrow is unknown since the arrow was broken and the front was missing. Other distal arrow fragments from that pueblo had hardwood foreshafts that were painted red, so I copied them in this replica. To retain this replica’s archaeological accuracy, I made the stone point from a fine-grained basalt that came from Northern Arizona. The point is held in place with pine sap glue and also a wrapping of deer sinew. All the other wrappings on this arrow are deer sinew as well.
This arrow represents the Sinagua culture that flourished in Arizona’s Verde Valley around 800 years ago. Shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Free shipping within the U.S.

Apache Arrow Replica 1
$160.00This museum-quality replica Chiricahua (western) Apache arrow is an exact copy of a set of 16 artifacts I examined in the Smithsonian back in 2014. The original arrows were collected in the late 1800’s when the Apache were still fighting for their freedom. This arrow copies the original in every respect.
The main shaft is reed that’s fletched with a mix of turkey wing and tail feathers (which the originals had). The feathers are secured front and back with sinew but they’re not glued to the shaft, just like the originals were done. Red and black paint under the feathers copies the paint scheme of the original arrow. The foreshaft is a dogwood shoot that’s been straightened, tapered slightly and tipped with a greyish brown side notched stone point that’s been glued with pine pitch and wrapped with sinew. The foreshaft has been painted with a smearing of dark brown paint. The original arrow was painted the same way.
Arrow Length: 36 1/2″ long. This arrow is shipped to you in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Free shipping to any US customers.

Replica Apache Arrow w/ Iron Point (NEW!)
$165.00This replica Apache arrow copies numerous authentic Apache arrows in the Smithsonian that were collected in the late 1800’s. This arrow is identical to the others I offer here, but this one has a metal point and the foreshaft is painted black.
This arrow has a reed main shaft with a hardwood foreshaft that’s painted black and it’s tipped with an iron point made from an old barrel hoop. This arrow is fletched with turkey wing and tail feathers and all wrappings are real deer sinew. About half the Apache arrows I examined were tipped with metal points, and the other half were stone tipped, indicating the Apaches were still making and using stone arrowheads, but would also employ metal points when they could acquire them.
