Description
-
This target crossbow originates from the Netherlands in Holland and is dated to the 19th century. It features a wooden stock that is richly decorated with carved floral motifs at the butt of the stock and the wooden handle underneath the stock. Along the sides of the stock’s upper half is a carved pattern of ridges. The upper surface of the stock also features a carved groove that holds the crossbow bolts. The trigger mechanism of the crossbow is a rolling nut made of metal (possibly brass), and the trigger is also made of metal. The metal prod runs through the middle of the stock, and above the prod is a metal peg. The string is attached to the prod with minor signs of some fraying.
