I am afraid i am not the indicated person to place it in time and place, Ken but, hopefully others will.
But tell me, is that thin rod a "hair trigger" in front of the shooting one ... with a tension adjusting screw in between ? This would make it a precision bullet crossbow, for target shooting. Together with that type of butt, could it be aged somewhere in the 19th. century ?
Pity no marks ... no better tracing.
