At this time, we do not have any of the arrow shafts available that are pictured to the left.. we are continually looking at collections and individual items that become available to us... we will make them available when we are able to obtain them... We are constantly in search of...... old arrows with rust crusted metal arrowheads... old arrows with bone (buffalo?) arrowheads.... old arrows with flint arrowheads... old arrows with no arrowheads... old arrows with no fletchings... arrows that were made by SITTING BULL that he sold while preforming with the BUFFALO BILL WILD WEST SHOW...the ORIGINAL we have in our collection is NOT FOR SALE... the REPRODUCTIONS are EXACTLY the same as the original,and are 100.00 each... |

four antique northern plains Sioux arrows that have passed our way and we subsequently sold / traded them to collectors.... we are always interested in purchasing antique NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN arrows and bows, REGARDLESS OF CONDITION.... old arrows in various conditions... old arrows in various lengths... |

circa 1880's northern plains Lakota Sioux arrows with rusted metal points and wild turkey wing feather fletching.... EXCELLENT condition considering the age of these arrows... these arrows are from the private collection of the Moose family in the village of Porcupine, on the PineRidge Reservation in South Dakota... these 32" and 34" arrows are said to be big game arrows, buffalo, bear, elk, etc... a bow of 65 inches or more would probably have been used for these arrows... these arrows are for sale for 500.00 each and we will consider a reasonable offer.... |

all of these old 23" to 32" arrows we have bought and traded for, over the years, will be listed, in due time... questions are always welcome... NDNTRADINGPOST@AOL.COM |

check out this old "BROAD HEAD"...
this crude, rusty old arrowhead was probably a big game downer... it looks powerful enough for buffalo, bear, or elk....
metal became available to American Indians as early as 1790...
metal bands from wooden barrels, farm implements, wagon/stage coach parts...
also, european settlers, blacksmiths traded metal tomahawks, axes, arrowheads, spear points for furs, labor, etc...
when metal became available, it made flint knapping a doomed process...
metal was easier to work with and was much more versatile...
THEN CAME FIRE ARMS!!! that, is a whole 'nother' story... |

what was used to tie the fletching to the shaft? gut? sinew? rawhide? horsehair? all were available and used at the time...
'over the counter' glue was not available to arrow makers of the 19th century or earlier...
there were several available substances that WERE available during that time period...
pine tar/pitch/sap from numerous trees and shrubs, hoof or hide glue that was made from animal parts......
