Thank you Michael!
I have seen this one before, and must say that I was a bit sceptic about it. But know when I see that it is a wallarmbrust I'm okay with it. Micke Dahlström, Stockholm Lockbow Society, Sweden |

Hi there,
I overlooked to point out that the nut on these heavy wall crossbows is not of bone as usual but of cast bronze or brass. And Micke: thanks for agreeing!  Best, Michael |
