The Holbein daggers
Jim,
Thank you so much for writing in such detail and recalling the Holbein daggers. I must confess being neither an expert in daggers nor in the two Hans Hollbeins but found these on the internet: both portraits are by Hans Holbein d.J. (the Younger). The first is dated 1533. Best, Michael |

Jim,
Actually my crossbow joke was meant just as ambiguous as you got it, my brilliant friend!  Michael |

Early Crossbow illustrations on East German expiation crosses
Expiation crosses were erected at road sides in the Middle Ages in reconciliation of a bloody deed.
Some of them show early forms of crossbows which had most probably been involved in the crime. Michael |
