Overall the bow is in very good condition, but you can see in one of the pictures that there was a repair made to the top of the barrel - brassy colored piece is the repair. It is a smooth bore, approximately .340 diameter - will measure it later.
Would love to hear some theories about it, age, country of origin, etc. , or be pointed in a direction where I can learn more. Thanks. Last edited by Rikkn; 26th March 2017 at 03:31 PM. |

I speculate that this crossbow may be used for hunting of small animals for fur. In the days before central heating humans sought to dress warmer with animal furs. Crossbows such as these may have been used for hunting these small creatures (squirrels, pine martens, etc) without damaging the fur pelts?
