Enough serration, you think? How many sharpenings of the blade it took before serration went all the way to the tip (an Early Archaic-made tip ding), but great length right at 3&1/4" by 1&5/16"--caliper reads a fraction over 5/16" max thickness. Stilwell points are sort of hit-or-miss when it comes to basal grinding (they're found in situ on Kirk sites), they take their 'cues' from Kirk points, but this Spencer/ Perry County, Indiana, find has decent basal edge grinding--and a ground 'center notch' to aid in hafting the knife. The Harrison County, Indiana, Hornstone has dark blue bandings, tip-to-base, so you know it was a lense flint, not a nodular form of hornstone. The finders' family had the piece stored in an old shoebox, a 1970 penny in the bottom with mint luster, so I assume the point has 50+ years it's been stored away, and may have been found decades before that--that's a big piece of flint to survive years of plowing. It's real, period. Shipping is $8.00 with checks or M.O>s how I welcome payments. Sorry, that means paypal-type payments are not taken--Roy A.
