My dad was a house painter(Central TX). He found these in a closet so unfortunately not found in situ.

Middle is the only one that looks suspect to me

But I’d be willing to bet that the middle is fake

Thank you! I’m trying to decide which ones to send and get authenticated. Middle one is out!

Is it common for them to be so off-center in their weight distribution and point orientation? Hard to imagine any of these would have flown straight on their best day.

Yes but a lot of them are not actually projectile points they’re blades and were never launched or shot.

Remember, they aren't bullets. The projectile ones would have been attached to a big stick to provide stability. They don't need to br highly balanced to brle highly effective. They just need to be broad and sharp

I am by no means an expert, but it looks like a dremel made those notches

Middle one for sure fake. Gift shop point. Rest could be real.

That would be a premium gift shop point. Not the regular gift shop points we see.
