Wanting to hear some opinions on arrowhead that is pictured in below attachments. Need not be professional just true feelings and opinions and why it's what your opinion is. All input is appreciated. Thank you. I can add additional photos if needed.

Size reference would be helpful
 

Hardin barbed. Early archaic. Hardins are one of the most difficult points to fake. Very few modern knappers can make them correctly. The one pictured looks authentic to me. I knapped for over 20 yrs.
 

As others have said, it looks genuine, nice flaking and the patina looks good too.

Welcome to TreasureNet, it always helps to give as much info as possible when asking about artifacts, size or size reference, general area found, (doesn’t have to be exact), was it found by you, given to you or bought by you, all of that helps.

it does look like an authenic hardin to me also. I think is made from Burlington chert.
In the first few photos the tip has a different hue, could be from the iight used during the photo.
The 3rd photo has somewhat different lighting. Has the tip been restored or re-knapped? Maybe it's the light causing this.
