I've seen this type of decorative work and bone inlay of European crossbows ranging from 16th-19th century. It seems to me to be a legitimate older piece probably of the time period suggested at the start of this thread-
You may want to take a look online for some of the wood decorations on crossbows of the period...

BTW- An absolutely spectacular piece, Cornelis. Congrats!!!
