Are all but one of these your personal finds?
... how did you come about having the repro?
Do you have any others that you did not find?
Were the authentic ones all from the same area?
These are all question to establish a base of info..like patina common for the area... common styles and flaking patterns..ect.

On a side note... get the repro. Out of the same airspace as your personal finds.. it will give them cooties...and put the rest of your collection in question.

This was a very interesting thread
