Description
-
This crossbow has a steel bow and is missing a string. There is an stirrup and a column with ridged edges attached on the top of the bridle and bolted to the side of the stock, both made of steel. The walnut stock is bevelled in the middle and inlaid with bone, displaying geometrical patterns like small circles on top of triangles. The top of the butt stock is decorated with diamond motifs and side has a dotted line. It has a lock mechanism, bolt clip, and an oddly shaped rear sight along with a set trigger guard and trigger.
