help identify primitive arrow

[Manitoba Stickflinger]

Hey everyone! New to the collectors forum but not to TG. I got a good friend involved in Trad archery and bowhunting and as a "thank you" he bought me this arrow from an antique store. Just wondering if anyone here would know more about it. It's 40"s long and weighs 1024 grains. The store owner mentioned South America???

There were 4 arrows in the store, all arrows the same but 2 with points like this one and 2 with barbed fishing points. Thanks for taking the time to read this....Ryan

holy beegeeszus MS them look older then dirt to me.I ai'nt no pro on items of that age but those may be from south america china even some old heads from england look kind of like those.The length of the arrow at about 40 inches does sound correct for the south american type.They did not draw 40" but left the arrows as long as possible to add weight to it.Dang thats a cool looken arrow no matter where it came from bd

Ryan - Go back to that store and buy them all!!!!  They can't be that expensive.  They look pretty old!

Don - you are up early (considering Left Coast!)

Its not South American, those Indians didn't use metal.  Its more likely to be African, especially considering the fletch.  

It could also be a good repro, but just an old one.
