This crossbow features a steel prod stamped with a mark on one side (Neue Stockel 5217). The upper and lower edges of the prod are etched with a rope work design and, on the outer face is a running band of etched anthemion. The inside of the prod is etched with elaborate patterns of scrolling foliage with differing flowers and fruit inhabited by a butterfly and birds-of-prey. The decorated prod is fitted with a later added bowstring and retained by later added cords. The stock is veneered with large ebonised panels on each side and contrasting panels of staghorn on the top and bottom. The raised cheek-piece on one side is signed with the maker's initials HSA on a staghorn panel at the front. The stock has been fitted with a later stirrup, a pair of lugs for a cranequin, a long slender trigger, an additional later modified trigger, later fore-sight, and bone nut. It would appear that this bow was modified with the second trigger, fore-sight and probably a back-sight (now missing) in the 18th Century. Another bow stamped with the same mark is preserved in the Museum Fur Deutsche Geschichte, Berlin and another in the Armoury at Skokloster.

This pellet crossbow is covered with metal elements throughout the bow, with the top lined with inlaid engravings. Reinforcing the slender steel prod with a front metal column, the prod is stamped with the maker's mark (Neue Støckel 6451). The bow is fitted with a string with a pouch, for pellet firing, and is held back with a catch that has a slide portion to it. Controlled by the trigger below, it would seem the incorporated metal unit catches the string in the slided-forward top compartment. The mechanism is then re-engaged by sliding the mechanism back. A height adjustable sight is screwed in on the top, which may be used to align with the front sights and the top parts of the slide. Many elements of this crossbow seem screwed in from the sides, with many flathead-like screws embedded into it.

The steel prod stamped with a mark on the inside, reinforced by thick green and tan bridling rope incorporating the stirrup. The bow looks extremely well preserved, with the bowstring frayed near the rolled metal prod secured with safety string. The hard wood features full ivory panelling and checkered pattern all along the sides, and engravings on the top. Sitting in shaped iron reinforcements, the ivory nut is secured with nussfaden around the bow's column. With striped pom-poms throughout the bow, two are placed on the lever-like trigger guard. A transverse pin sits right above the trigger, hinting at the presence of a cranequin to cock the bow.

This massive crossbow operates off of the large windlass attached to the back with the attachment point. With a protrudng part at the botoom, the bow is used in a different manner than the handheld versions. Featuring a massive stirrup for two feet possibly (with it bent in the middle), this large wooden crossbow has metal securements in the front for the prod and windlass, winded by many coilwheels. The large wooden bow is cocked by the claws and feature a metal trigger at the bottom to release the cocked bow from winding the windlass. In front is a large bolt channel with ivory inlaid tracks. Thomas Del Mar mentioned a bow of similar construction is preserved in the Royal Armouries, Leeds. Another, signed 'A. Perot' on the trigger was sold Sotheby's Billingshurst 14th July 1998, lot 69.

This crossbow features a slender steel prod, alongside a pair of fore-sight pillars built into the front. The bow is operated with a built-in gaffle retained by a spring-catch at the rear, stamped with the maker's mark (indistinct), connected to the domed lever terminal as well. The folding back-sight aligns with the foresight pillars on the fruitwood stock, which is still retaining some border ornament and set with a rondel on each side. Iron mounts can also be seen on both sides.
