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.
