A FINE AND RARE GERMAN BARRELLED SPORTING CROSSBOW (SLURBOW) WITH REPEATING BULLET MAGAZINE, CIRCA 1660-70 with robust steel bow struck with a mark, a horn (Neue Støckel 5217 for similar), bound with cords over a wooden saddle with suspension ring and retaining six of its original decorative woollen pom-poms, fruitwood tiller, the greater part of conventional form, swelling about the release mechanism and shaped for the cheek, the forward section faceted, extending in the manner of a pistol fore-end and seating an iron two-stage barrel , the forward half with polygroove rifled bore, retained by a pair of screws entering from beneath, a raised faceted band behind the bow and a short tang, the octagonal rear half of the barrel open at both sides, extending over the nut and the tang fitted with pivoted back-sight, the tiller with tubular bullet-magazine running forwards from a horn bullet-feed immediately ahead of the nut, the feed-block rising on a spring through an aperture in the underside of the tiller and released by a sliding catch, the magazine filled from a port beneath the bow closed by a horn sliding cover, with iron bullet-channel laid over the chase, iron lugs for a spanning-lever, folding trigger, two-stage trigger-guard and pivot safety-catch, the tiller veneered in white horn finely engraved with German baroque ornament over its upper and lower surfaces, decorated with acanthus borders, an acanthus rollwerk cartouche enclosing the lower aperture of the bullet-feed, a similar cartouche about the aperture for a rod inserted to set the action and a more elaborate engraved cartouche framing the base of the trigger-guard, inlaid over the sides with engraved beaded horn lines along its full length behind the bow, and the remaining forward section decorated with further white horn inlays including a pair of engraved plaques impaled by the barrel screws, and the border panels and the terminal cap all engraved with acanthus ornament (the bow-string and the pivot cords for the nut missing) 92 cm; 36¼ in 61 cm; 24 in bow Barrelled crossbows were intended to discharge a bullet seated in the cupped head of a small iron rod known in France as a chasse de fer. A repeating magazine system, as in this rare instance, would still necessitate each bullet to be seated on a rod. The present bow has provision for probably up to eight bullets to be held in its magazine; another German example, probably unique, is said to have held 24: see Blackmore 1971, pp. 202, 207. For an account of the development and use of barrelled crossbows see Paterson 1990, pp.88-91.

A FINE SMALL SPORTING CROSSBOW (HALB RÜSTUNG), GERMAN OR POSSIBLY DUTCH, MID-16TH CENTURY with steel bow struck with a wheel mark (Neue Støckel 6452) and bound by cords together with suspension ring under a wooden saddle, fitted with string of twisted cords and retaining fragments of decorative textile pom-poms, fruitwood tiller down-curved slightly towards the rear, formed with a swell about the release mechanism and with shaped concave cheek-piece, veneered with strips of contrasting white staghorn over the full length of its upper and lower surfaces and over the cheek-piece, the veneer on the underside bordered by darker horn, the sides heightened over their contours by inlaid contrasting pale wooden lines, and with narrow strips of parquetry inlay forming a chain-like pattern in horn and contrasting woods along the full length of the upper and lower borders, fitted with bone nut moving on cords, lugs for a cranequin, trigger, long angular trigger-guard, safety-catch, thumb-rest formed as an iron staple, and the tiller with apertures for the insertion of rods to set the mechanism (bolt-clip missing) 63 cm; 24¾ in and 51.4 cm; 20¼ in bow The small proportions suggest that this bow was intended for use by a lady or young adolescent. The slender shape of the tiller and the reliance on contrasting plain veneers and parquetry borders are residual characteristics of the early 16th century. The steel bow is possibly a working replacement dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. Cf. two crossbows with tillers decorated in a similar manner, each attributed to Germany or the Netherlands, in the collection of the Counts von Trapp in Schloss Churburg (CH S315 & CH S317): see Scalini 1996, p.379
