Description
-
This bolt crossbow has a sturdy, slender steel prod, attached by brass colored plates on both sides. Running across the prod is a tight graying string. The bow stock is dark brown stained and varnished wooden stock with a deep bolt groove along the top, operated with an upward-springing brass flap. The stock is caved in for shoulder support, and the trigger guard is shaped for hand support. A new paper label with the assigned maker's name "Jules Lazon Fils Cambrai" is affixed to the brass trigger guard.
