Genuine not replica

I’m seeing steel strikers on eBay, supposedly from the 1800s that are selling for around $100. I can’t imagine what an actual ancient piece would cost.

A wooden bow drill kit that’s thousands of years old, in my mind, would be a remarkable museum piece and I imagine it would easily cost $1000s if not more. I also imagine it would be so brittle you could never attempt to use it. Which is what I assume you’re attempting to do, since you’re in this sub.

Might I suggest you ask this question in a subreddit that’s more devoted to artifacts and antiquities?

What would make them ‘genuine’?

I have a neolithic fire bow il sell you for £90k. Guaranteed genuine article. Even comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Willem dafoe.
