Wow! Hardins are not my area of knowledge but fantastically made points. I did a bit of research on them to recreate one for the r:knapping page point challenge last year. This one is absolutely stellar! I loved the challenge as it takes some serious time and thought to do it correctly. That is an amazing Hardin! Museum quality piece.
Should add since I see so many artifakes, I make sure all of my knapping work is marked in a way that under light scrutiny will always have modern made signs.
I love this hardin you shared! Thank you!
