Rock Island Auction Company
Rock Island Auction Company – -(AmmoLand.com)- The precise time and place of production is unknown, though the trigger mechanism and steel prod suggest production after 1400.
The prod is recurve steel, measuring 22″ across when strung, with decorative cord running across the front connecting a set of six multicolored puffballs, and the bowstring appears to be sinew reinforced with hemp cord. Securing the stock to the prod is a set of steel plates, with a connecting plate in the front with a large eye screw.
