An Especially Fine Gothic Crossbow, ca. 1460, Swiss Country Museum Zurich
I owe these images to my friend and our member Alexander (Spiridonov) - thank you you much, Alexander!
Please note the unique cross section photos of the various glued layers on the inside of a Gothic composite bow and the special stamped pattern on the bow surface! Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 23rd September 2011 at 02:06 AM. |

An unusually fine Tyrolean example offered by Peter Finer in 2009.
The zooms enable perfect studies of the variety of Gothic patterns that the bow covering is stamped with! m |

Thank you, 'Nando!
The zooms were sent to me by Peter just to inform me. Best, Michl |
