Pellet Crossbow??

With the buttstock shaped as it is, it looks like a modern version of the old stone -bow.
For one of these (if it is!) you need two strings with spacers holding them apart, and a small 'basket' or pouch for the stone.

The pics are a bit fuzzy, but it looks like the posts are a little close together at the front.

Stone -bows were accurate & deadly little devices, for taking birds and small game, & used even in the 18th & 19th century. They were also popular with ladies.

Best,
Richard.
