We are proud to present some of the rarest and finest arrowheads for sale in the world. Many if not all are historically significant. Our desire is to aid others to collect, preserve and record great arrowheads and feel this is evident in this exciting Auction. Come join us? The Richardsons go to a great deal of time and trouble at their expense to cull out of our Ancient Lithic Auctions any fake or reproductions. They also have several authenticators as well as many collectors helping to do this. The arrowheads in this sale or any other past or present auction when stating Ancient Lithics are guaranteed authentic and are original in our opinion and usually in others opinion as well. We can however make mistakes. Please draw to our attention or share any knowledge with us to help keep and maintain the Richardson's Auction house to be the safest place to invest and collect ancient arrowheads, Our ancient ancestors kept styles of arrowheads going that they developed over many years keeping them pure from change as a tradition as for any other reason. This is the same all around the world. We owe it to them, ourselves and future collectors to keep their arrowheads as original as the day they were knapped and to preserve them forever.
