I have 4 left secondary wings that I am looking to trade for some knapped points.

I am looking to get 3 nice Cherokee hunting points like D and E on page 87 of Allely and Hamm's Encyclopedia of native American bows, arrows, and quivers .

this is what I got similar to the Cherokee points referenced
The points I mentioned having in the PM, all turned out larger than I remembered and too big for arrow points
These could be reshaped at the bases maybe if needed

Looks like Nodena-banks arrowheads.  If no one else chimes in, I'll make 'em for you.  I've already got the preforms for that type.

1442, thank you for the offer but I am looking for something in the 110 -125 grain range.  Those look like they would be a little large, and I am sure I would end up reshaping them into gravel.

That's cool.
The points are smaller than they look, the four on the right are really thin and wouldn't go 100 grains I bet.
Thanks for the consideration.
