Crossbow(s) for sale or trade

$125/20 shipping in the US for the above , got a picture while the sun was out but will come finished in Watco clear and I usually add a wood piece to help hold the bolt

Made of cherry , nominally 80 draw at 6-1/4 inch though this prod feels abit heavier then normal , need to check it with my scale later

will include 3 target bolts and works with Baldar and UHMW blunts

was going to stick this up on ebay but figure I'd post here instead

I do build many other patterns of crossbows ... including the Chinese Repeater ... and even a combat version of that ..

Need to refill the coffers abit and reorder prods but I am also interested in trades as I am needing to assemble armor for this season - interested in a 15th century kit , but with the right helm I may go Viking/Saxon/Germanic ... but prefer building that as a living history impression ... not rattan fighting .. other then Maile and some splinted Bracers I need a full kit ..











wow great deal. i wish i had the cash.

Sir Wolf,
those are some beautiful crossbows!  Some of the links didn't work btw.  But I was able to see the gallery via the AA link.

very nice
