Medieval Crossbow, 14th Century

Medieval Crossbow, 14th Century

This elaborate reconstruction of a 14th c. crossbow has a steel prod fitted onto a wooden stock. The cocking stirrup, trigger, nut and all additional fittings are also crafted from steel.

The crossbow comes complete with a bolt with wooden shaft and blackened steel bodkin point.

A crannequin to span this crossbow can be ordered separately (product no. 0616510401). A tackle / windlass is also available in our shop (product no. 0616510301).

Important notice: :
This medieval crossbow is a decoration item with limited functionality and accuracy. As this weapon reproduction has a working mechanism (it can be spanned and - though only to an extent - shot), its purchase and use are subject to age restrictions. What's more, the provided quarrels feature a sharp point. This crossbow is neither suitable for an effective shooting training nor for practical use on the reenactment battlefield, and is exclusively designed as a nice addition to a historical weapons collection, as an ornamental / display item or as a medieval accessory. In any case, it is not a toy and should be handled by adults only!
