Weeping Heart Plains Indian Pipe Tomahawk: SOLD
“I am a collector of U.S. cavalry weapons and accouterments from the period 1866 – 1890 and have a display of such. I am a stickler for authenticity and take pride in that. I have a few original Indian items, mostly beadwork and pipes but no weapons, mainly due to scarcity and the premium prices they bring if you are lucky to find one. I have searched the internet for a reasonable, authentic looking hawk to place in my display along with the Cavalry items but was not satisfied with what is out there. Then, last fall I came upon Todd’s website and was I impressed with his work. In my estimation, his work is the best, hands down!! I still am in awe as to his work and how authentic his work is. I received the hawk today and all I can say, UNBELIEVABLE !! You can’t tell his work from an original piece. If you want quality, forget the others and work with Todd on a one of a kind piece. I am planning on working with Todd on a war club to go with the hawk.“
