Description
-
This pellet crossbow features a long wooden stock curved at the front. At the end of the stock is a simple spiral volute. The thin curved prod passes through the front of the stock and is secured with bow irons. The bowstring of twisted cord is frayed. There is a metal front sight fork but the folding rear sight is missing. There is a small spike at the front of the stock most likely used for support when spanning. The butt is rounded like a disc-shaped pommel. Simple lever trigger made of metal.
