Bronze Arrowhead9 viewsFake arrowhead that has been making the rounds, often listed by NFSL eBay sellers such as ancientearth2006 and many others. Seems to be referencing ancient Iranian types such as Khorasani 455, Moorey 64/65, and Muscarella 403.
Identifiable not just by the distinctive shape and proportions, but also by the slightly off-center square-sectioned rib, too thick wings, unconvincing fabric, and fake patina. The collage includes the same cast type from multiple sellers, some of whom are on the NFSL.Kamnaskires

Additionally, the Latin of this specimen is bungled.
