Default Crossbow Help Needed

I have had this for several years, just hanging on a wall.... When I bought it all I was told was that is is very old and shoots balls. Have been trying to research it, and pretty much coming up blank. Here are some pictures, will take more this evening and post them.

The only markings I see are a proof ( looks like an animal crouching or running ) and a number, 1631.

Interesting piece, Rivkkn.
Are those cell phone pictures ?
Can't you take larger ones ... and a more accurate one of the markings ?

Fernando, they are cell phone pictures. I tried larger ones but the site would not let me upload them. I will take better pictures later this morning.

You can not upload too large pictures but, in any case, they may be three times as large as the ones you posted .

Pellet crossbow or stone bow.

Could you take a guess as to caliber?
