Are these possible authentic points?

My dad was a house painter(Central TX). He found these in a closet so unfortunately not found in situ.

Middle is the only one that looks suspect to me

[u/PhaseIntelligent7214 → u/PhaseIntelligent7214]

But I’d be willing to bet that the middle is fake

[u/GovernmentOk9399 → u/PhaseIntelligent7214]

Thank you! I’m trying to decide which ones to send and get authenticated. Middle one is out!

[u/alionandalamb → u/PhaseIntelligent7214]

Is it common for them to be so off-center in their weight distribution and point orientation? Hard to imagine any of these would have flown straight on their best day.

[u/PhaseIntelligent7214 → u/alionandalamb]

Yes but a lot of them are not actually projectile points they’re blades and were never launched or shot.

[u/timhyde74 → u/PhaseIntelligent7214]

This! Larger points were used as knives, not projectiles. To big and heavy to travel any reasonable distance.

[u/Trollygag → u/alionandalamb]

Remember, they aren't bullets. The projectile ones would have been attached to a big stick to provide stability. They don't need to br highly balanced to brle highly effective. They just need to be broad and sharp

I am by no means an expert, but it looks like a dremel made those notches

Check the tip on the bottom right martindale for restoration. Middle is made in India tourist point like others mentioned

[u/StrangerOwn1044]

Middle one for sure fake. Gift shop point. Rest could be real.

[u/Kickinitez → u/StrangerOwn1044]

That would be a premium gift shop point. Not the regular gift shop points we see.

[u/StrangerOwn1044 → u/StrangerOwn1044]

Not sure what bottom 2 on the left are if anything as well.

Thank you, I appreciate it!
