These have been made fpr military and hunting purposes.
So the crossbow in question is certainly not a replica but just a piece made around 100 years ago for having fun with shooting. That's all

That's what's the auction company says! i never said it was a 16th or 17th century! personaly i bought because it's a children's version and i don't had any! so it will complete my colection!o try to have items from bronze age to ww2!

Thanks all for the opinions.
