Product description

Small vintage-looking hand crossbow offered with its original wooden stock and metal bow and trigger mechanism; the lot shows intact bow arms and a steel cable string and the lock/trigger assembly is present and reported working by the warehouse. Heavy surface patina and age wear give this piece strong display character — a ready candidate for a restoration, display in a collection, or as a curious prop.

It will appeal to a restorer who wants a mechanically complete example to service, a prop designer after authentic silhouettes, or a collector who values original metal fittings and worn wooden stocks with visible wear.
