Thanks Jasper. I know it may seem that I am being argumentative, but for me, it's important to be thorough in exploring as many trails as possible.

No problem, it is a very good not to take everything indiscriminately. When I got my Target crossbow back in 2000 I had the same discussion with JP Puype, the former curator of the Army Museum.

Very interesting thread, thanks! What is the age and origin of this target crossbow?

Eftihis, it will be a late model, late 19th. century ?, with that 'complex' shiny trigger guard and the accuracy set (hair) trigger.
But don't trust my judgement
