This crossbow has a steel prod and a two-pillared iron stirrup and the pillars are connected with a small rope. The checkered stock is made of maple wood and pointed at the front. The side of the stock is decorated with iron plating near the string and the trigger. The lock mechanism and small folded, adjustable lever is made of iron and most of the lock components appear to be intact. The butt stock is mounted with a pin-like thumb rest made of iron.
