ok not actually a crossbow, but a very crossbow related item, = a crossbow mans pavise from the 14th century
having spent week doing web searches untill my brain drips out my eyes, i turn to you guys in the hope you may have information/ images you can share,
i'm hoping to construct a crossbow mans pavise suitable for mid 14th cent, all the web searches bring up 15th century ones, i know some will say whats the differance, but the very few early ones i have come across show them to me a lot more plainly deccorated than the 15thc examples,. but more importantly they do not seem to have the centeral ' gully' ie; they appear simple flat or slightly curved,
i do not follow the line of thinking that just becasue it was used in 1480 it would have been the same 140 years earlier
so i'd like to find as much information as i can before even attempting to make a copy of one
any help/ info/ ideas/ thoughts would be very welcome
but please NO 15th cent ones, as there are loads of those on the net
