The rest.
In some of the hafts in the previous part of this post, small holes can be noted drilled into some of the hafts. They give proof that these quarrels were part of later decorative displays such as roundel or fan shaped arrangements which became very popular during the 17th to 19th centuries and to which the quarrels had been fixed by wires.

Thank you Michael!
I have seen this one before, and must say that I was a bit sceptic about it. But know when I see that it is a wallarmbrust I'm okay with it. Micke Dahlström, Stockholm Lockbow Society, Sweden |

Hi there,
I overlooked to point out that the nut on these heavy wall crossbows is not of bone as usual but of cast bronze or brass. And Micke: thanks for agreeing!  Best, Michael |
