A Heavy Weight Crossbow
More than two years, and I have now caught covid for the first time. Not being one to just sit around, a couple motrin and out to take some pictures of a crossbow Ive had for a while. I dont know a lot about it except it's big and heavy.
I think for castle defense? Approximate age? Does anyone know of similar examples? Period art work?
What time period were the four pins used to secure the parts?
I think the string is likely a replacement?
What would the empty holes in the top be for?
Is the trigger in its original configuration or would it have been fired with a lever when first made?
Lots of pictures!
Thanks a bunch!
