Hi again!

The second piece is this early – mid 16th century crossbow with a double axle lock, probably not a weapon made in Sweden, but an import from somewhere in Germany.

It’s a very special...

I think that this one could be from 1480-1490 or something like that, based on the strange and probably early four-axle lock mechanism.

I have written a little article explaining my thoughts...

And here is the sister to the cranequin that Michael posted.
It's located in Skokloster in Sweden.

I must agree with Michael on this one, I don’t like it.

Thank you Michael!
