Hi Everyone,
I have been in correspondence with the curator of arms and armour in the Royal Armoury Collection, Stockholm regarding the crossbow (below) and he has very kindly taken photos, measurements and provided some notes which I have permission to share with you, hope you will find them interesting.
Before I start, I believe this is the bow posted to Viking Sword, examined by Mikael Dahlström who sometimes posts here, and which he identified as a wood-and-sinew bow. I would love ...
