Snapped Base Points

[quito]

Picked these KRF points up at auction a few years apart. I got the lighter one first They came out of the same collection. It took a couple of years and a few auctions to liquidate this collection of personal finds that were picked up by two brothers. I was confident with the first one, that it had it's base snapped intentionally into this configuration, most likely after being damaged. But when I laid eyes on the second one, I had to wonder if that was the case. And I knew I would be leaving with it. :-) They are so similar, I often wonder if they weren't from the same hands.

@ quito..So if these are made as they look how do you think they were hafted? Do you feel they were done differently from the other style with the stem or do you think maybe they were done like a Celt would of been hafted in a handle for a knife?

I won't pretend to know much about halfting strategies, but I would assume they could have been halfted in similar fashion as some of the other many stemmed points.
