A gift...

This point was used to pay a debt between an old mountain man and his mechanic, then given to me because I've always wanted to research more about it. Any comments would be great...

That is an awesome point. Wouldn't want to get hit by that!

That is incredible. You are lucky to have it.

Your research will probably turn up an interesting story, but an unfortunately short history.

It looks an awful lot like a 1940-1960's grey ghost point.Bryan Reinhardt's Flint Spear "Gray Ghosts" Page 1

Unfortunately, I believe joshuaream is correct in suggesting the point is likely modern.

I wasn't familiar with the gray ghosts but it does look like it. Could you post more pics of the point ..... Back as well as a side view

They are highly collected by some just for what they are. I dont collect them myself but have seen some.

I agree with this assessment 100%. They are still valuable though to the people that collect them.
