  • Chiricahua Apache Arrow Replica

    Chiricahua Apache Arrow Replica

    $165.00

    This museum-quality replica Chiricahua 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 hardwood shoot that’s been straightened, tapered slightly and tipped with a creamy white 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 US customers.

    Comanche Arrow Replica

    $155.00

    This replica Comanche arrow is an exact copy of one that’s in a set of 16 in the Smithsonian that I personally examined back in 2014. The group of arrows was part of a complete archery set including the bow, quiver and bowcase that was captured off a Comanche warrior in 1868 near Paint Creek, Texas. This arrow copies the original in every aspect.

    The shaft is made of a hardwood shoot. It’s fletched with a mix of turkey wing and tail feathers (a very common feature of many Plains arrows). The fletch is secured front and back with sinew but they aren’t glued to the shaft, just like with the original I copied.. The paint design copies the original. The dark blue is laundry bluing, which many southern Plains arrows were decorated with during that time. They would obtain the bluing from settlers and use it to decorate their arrows. The shaft has 3 straight shaft grooves that were common on many Plains arrows. The front of the shaft is tapered and it’s tipped with a metal point made from a circular saw blade and it’s held with a wrapping of deer sinew and the front is also decorated with laundry bluing. Although difficult to see in the photos, the front of the shaft has small dents made by holding the shaft with the teeth when the shaft was straightened. The original arrow also had these same dents from the same technique, so I followed suit.

    This arrow is one of the reasons the Comanche came to dominate the southern Plains. Their fierce fighting capabilities, coupled with their expertise on the horse is why they were called Lords of the Prairie. Here’s your chance to own a copy of a real piece of American history.

  • Fine Pressure Flaker

    Fine Pressure Flaker

    $10.00

    You will get 2 fine pressure flakers with each order.  You need the right tool for the job, and if you want to make fine arrow points like the ones showcased in these photos, you need a very fine pressure flaker to do it.  The flakers offered here are the exact same ones I use to make the exquisite arrow points you see in these photos.  This flaker is made of mild steel that’s perfect for making very narrow and exquisite notches, micro serrations and other fine detail work.  It has the perfect hardness…it indents slightly when pressed on the edge of the flint so it grips the edge to remove the finest pressure flakes.  You can create very fine ribbon flaking and insanely sharp edges on hunting points with this tool. It can be used as-is or set into a wooden handle for a better grip, if needed.  Free shipping within the U.S.
