Incredible Bone Inlaid German 17th Century Sporting Crossbow - Ornate Antique High Art Late Renaissance Hunting Bow 1600-1650 RARE
Description: Very Rare Ornate Late Renaissance Era Bone Inlaid Germanic Sporting Crossbow, circa 1600-1650. This is a fascinating piece that came to us straight from a very old local collection of ancient European weapons. Crossbow measures 26 1/8" from ring to butt and 20 3/4" across the prod or bow. Wood stock has rich color with wonderful untouched finish and is elaborately inlaid with bone floral motifs and a boar, fox, and lion. There are also numerous tiny round pearl inlays incorporated into the designs. One flower inlay is missing but otherwise the stock is excellent with no damage or repairs. Bone bolt groove and carved cheekpiece with iron guard and double set triggers. Heavy iron bow with original bindings and string (many strands of the string have broken but it's incredibly well preserved for being 400 years old!). The latch or nut that would hold the string in place when cocked is missing. A stunning original 17th century crossbow that must be held to be appreciated! Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique arms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique arms" will also include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions. Buyers must be 21 years of age or older and have no felony convictions to purchase antique arms. Antique arms do not require Federal licensing and may be shipped directly to the buyer with the following exceptions. No antique arms will be shipped to Washington D. C. or any of the five boroughs of New York City (or residents thereof). Some restrictions may apply to antique firearms shipped to California and will be noted in the item description if applicable. Any antique arm shipped to New Jersey or Ohio must ship to a licensed FFL holder, no exceptions. Any muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction rifle, shotgun, or handgun shipped to Illinois must ship to an FFL holder. Items containing antique ivory will not be sold or shipped to residents of California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, or Washington. Antique muzzleloaders and antiques which fire obsolete cartridges may be shipped internationally however it is the responsibility of the buyer to know and abide by their local laws and provide proof that the antique arm is legal to receive and own. Payment can be made by money order, banker's check, personal check, credit card (no additional fees), or bank wire. Please allow 7-10 business days for clearance on personal checks.

Buyer pays actual shipping costs with no added charge for packing materials or handling. We describe items accurately and thoroughly. If an item has been misrepresented or significant defect overlooked you may return it for a full refund (minus return shipping costs) within 3 days of having received it. This timeframe begins once the package is delivered by the carrier. Buyer's remorse or concerns over issues noted in the description and/or pictures is not a valid excuse for return. Returned items must be received in the same condition as originally shipped - cleaning, disassembly, alteration, or damage of any kind will void inspection privileges. Occasionally a post-1898 firearm from my personal collection may be sold under this account and any such transaction is a personal sale in no way affiliated with Jeremiah Johnson Trading. Any such arm will be shipped to a licensed FFL or C&R holder in accordance with Federal law. All antique arms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm. SOLD Manufacture Date: Circa 1600-1650 |
