Unfortunately, the fakers are also making these and flint tools etc., and again these can easily be found on fleabay. How on earth does one tell a genuine Stone Age tool or a native American Indian flint arrow head from a modern made one? I am lucky, I have a few, and I know where they came from, and I am happy with them, but anybody wishing to add such items to a collection now would need to be very careful. :([/QUOTE]
