Crossbows For Sale

Although crossbows are used today exclusively for hunting and target shooting, they played a major role in medieval European warfare. The first of its kind, this trilingual book—in English, German, and Dutch—features a complete inventory of the historical crossbow collection at the Royal Netherlands Army Museum. Richly illustrated with explanatory drawings, Crossbows in the Royal Netherlands Army Museum discusses the full historical range of these powerful weapons, from the middle ages to the early twentieth-century.
