Measures approximately 37" across prod and 28" from front sight to butt. Prod with simple notches at edges for mounting bowstring. Front sight prong for mounting thread-and-bead front sight. Brass runner laid into body of bow for decoration. Folding rear sight with three aperture holes for sighting. Classic stonebow cocking mechanism in butt that would roll forward and cock bowstring. Interesting takedown feature where a screw at front could be unthreaded to allow removal of prod, making for a very compact package. CONDITION: Good. Metal has an attractive even chocolate patina throughout with flashes of dove grey visible on body, while prod is essentially all patina. Pins from brass inlay are missing and it appears to have been glued down at one point with epoxy or equivalent. Cocking mechanism works appropriately. Stonebows were a rather clever evolution of the crossbow used for hunting small game.
This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.
Item Dimensions: 28" x 37" x 6"
