Two items very rare to find in detached condition, and visible from all sides :
two stirrups and a tiller trigger/trigger bar, from crossbows of the 2nd half of the 15th c. The first stirrup: 11.9 x 0.98 x 3.4 x 9.63 cm. m |

Andi posted this historically important Ottoman incendiary arrow:
http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...621#post170621 This rare item has been identified as an arrow rather than a crossbow bolt, for the fact that long bows were favorized in Muslim areas, and in the 16th and 17th centuries. It has been preserved at the Stadtmuseum of Klosterneuburg (museum of the City of Klosterneuburg) located at the Danube River, near Vienna, Lower Austria)ever since The Second Great Siege of Vienna by the Turks, 14 July through 12 September 1683! For important contemporary illustrations, see Wikipedia: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ca..._of_Vienna.png Please also cf. my thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...k+Suhl+Austria Thanks, Andi, and best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 17th July 2014 at 07:58 AM. |

Closest Studies of a Crossbow Nut, 15th Century!
I retrieved these from Ebay.com where it sold a few days ago.
Enjoy the singular occasion. Best, Michael |

Here is another isolated stirrup. I can take some better pics if there is interest.
