Some collectors like restored points, some prefer to display a piece 'as-found'--there are points I've sent for professional restoration--and I always appreciate the work of a Keith Etchison or Dennis Bushey. It's kind of an 'aside' here, but simple damage to a great piece of flint, or modern rechipping, hey, cover it with epoxy, enjoy what it once was...now if a piece was anciently used as a 'salvaged tool', that I won't cover--both uses, primary and secondary, they're part of the provenance. Here, it would be a pretty straight-forward restoration on this big Harrodsburg fossil chert Dovetail, the damage is ancient, basal corner and tip (the barb was salvaged, I wouldn't have it restored)--but that's me--when you own the piece, decide for yourself. The Dove comes from Gibson County, Indiana, measures a long 3&11/16" by 1&11/16"; caliper reads 3/8" on the medial ridge--that's a big blade. Basal grinding is extra heavy, this being an Early Archaic point. Patina, well, one look screams "no brainer". Shipping is $6/00, checks, cash, or M.O>s welcomed. Sorry, I do not use paypal--Roy A.
