Default Two fine Gothic Crossbows in the Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow

I thought I had posted these here before, and the search button confirmed me, but I cannot find them.
So please enjoy.

The first crossbow is of very early type, 14th c., the second may be dated to the end of the 15th c.


Best,
Michael
