Description
-
The crossbow has a slender steel prod of which the bowstring is missing. The prod features a pair of fore-sight pillars, a built-in gaffle retained by a spring-catch at the rear, and stamped with the maker's mark (Neue Støckel 3133). The weapon has a domed lever terminal, a rectangular folding rear-sight. The stock is made of fruit wood and incised with linear patterns around the border and on each side. The stock is inset with an oval bone plaque.
