Decorative Medieval Steel Crossbow with Stirrup and Three Bolts
The Weapon That Changed Medieval Battlefields
The crossbow was a dreaded weapon in the Middle Ages, with piercing power that could overcome even the chainmail or plate armour of contemporary knights. This is exactly why it was even banned by the Church for combat between Christians during certain historical periods. The model presented corresponds to the lighter types of medieval crossbows, which were drawn by arm strength using the front stirrup, into which the shooter placed his foot. The tiller of the weapon is precisely carved from hardwood and finished with a solid steel buttcap. The prod itself, the large stirrup, the long trigger lever, and the cylindrical roller nut that holds the bowstring are made of durable mild steel. The strength of the entire assembly is emphasized by massive steel plates on the sides of the tiller, which protect the trigger mechanism.
Safety Rules and Warnings
It is extremely important to bear in mind that, for safety reasons, this is a purely decorative item. This crossbow is not intended for practical use, shooting, or spanning the bowstring! The weapon's mechanism and prod are not designed for the stresses of shooting, and attempting to shoot could lead to material failure and serious injury. The supplied wooden bolts are equipped with very sharp bodkin points; therefore, handle them with the utmost care and always store them out of the reach of children. The weapon serves exclusively as a display piece, an accessory for photoshoots, LARP, or a theatrical prop without real shooting functionality.
Care for Your Historical Replica
The steel parts of this crossbow are not made of stainless steel, which adds to the historical authenticity of the weapon but also requires a little care. To prevent the formation of unwanted rust, we recommend regularly treating all metal components (prod, stirrup, trigger, bolt points) with a thin layer of high-quality gun oil. The wooden tiller and bolt shafts can occasionally be wiped with a cloth and a little linseed oil or wood wax, which will highlight the wood grain and extend its lifespan.
