I searching for data on this arbalest for my Belarus friend. It really never belonged to Louis XII. This crossbow from collection of kaiser Maksimilian.

A formal date of this crossbow would be ca. 1510-20; the Emperor Maximilian I died in 1519.

I will post more similar crossbows attributed to him.

Best,
Michail
