I am now sure this crossbow was made for conventional bolts.

The actual bow is beautifully made, a real work of art!
I will keep looking, as I have not seen one exactly the same.
Do you have an idea where it could have originated?
To me it looks Germanic, but that is maybe because many were!

It is a great piece. Congratulations on finding it!

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your comment.

It had been sold as a portion of 16 th century Spanish crossbow.
