I am traveling to Italy this fall and will have some time to go to a museum or two. I will be staying in Rome, Venice, and Florence.
I want to locate a munitions grade (one that would have been used by a common soldier) Windlass Crossbow from pre 1600. I am hoping to locate a museum that has a selection of of windlass crossbows and bolts so that I can arrange to have a private viewing. There are a lot of museums in the region so I was hoping someone might have the name of one in particular that has some so I can work with them to attempt to set up the private viewing.
