  I looked too, twice, and also couldn't find anything that looked like a mediaeval crossbow. I saw some with wierd looking tillers, some like rifle stocks etc How do you locate the mediaeval ones ?

 Yes, saw that one with the photo of a modern rifle type match crossbow stock and mention of bronze nut, trigger guard, screws, and Swiss target bow.

Nothing unusual in that - very common in Ireland - amazed you hadn't noticed! There is also the union between human and pig which gives rise to very successful politicians, human and donkey often to be found working in banks - and whole host of others.
