Where can I go to have antiquities evaluated / appraised?

[jrh4]

I have a bunch of cool antiquities (mesoamerican, native american, egyptian) and I was wondering who I could talk to about having them evaluated for authenticity and potentially appraised. I really don't even know where to start. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Do you have any idea where this blade came from? Interesting material I’ve never seen before.

I know, right! The "handle" has ben worn perfectly smooth from so much use. This was from my father's collection, and I think he did most of his collecting in the American northeast. But I really have no way to confirm that :/
