The imperative

I'm here at the pawn shop today to sell my very old crossbow.

He's a collector of antique weapons and figured me being an archer might appreciate it.

I've had the crossbow for about two years now, and it is very cool, but it would be nice toe.

Where it's from, you know, actually, not too sure, but, uh, obviously it's not from this century.

Well, no, it's not from this century for sure.

You know, these things have been around over two thousands.

Crossbows were like the first powered weapon.

They're pretty amazing for what they are.

You know, basically, somebody figured out problem with bow and arrow is, you know, you've got fatigue, but it was something like this you could actually do a lot of damage with it.

The pope actually had them banned from civilian years.

You know, anybody with a simple amount of training could take out nobility with one of these rights.

All in all, a really, really, really scary weapon for someone to have.

Some type of shield of arms or something.

I don't know what that is, but it leads me to believe it's British.

So how much were you looking to get out of it?

You know, realistically, that might be possible.

I don't know if there's a whole lot of stuff I gotta figure out here.

I'm interested to find out more about it myself.

I'm actually excited that experts coming by to take a look at it.

I'm really hoping it's worth what I'm asking, if not more.

Wow, this thing's a beast, to say the least.

This'll is a pretty classic mid 18th century crossbow.

17 40 maybe his latest 17 70 by the mid 18th century.

They weren't making crossbows to take in the battle.

There was a whole recreational sport of target crossbow shooting.

But the thing that super rare is actually the windless.

The bow is so hard to pull by itself, they actually invented an entire whining system.

The technical term for that is a winless crossbows.

So this tag von Schloss sick mayor engine.

So this is a castle and it's in the southern part of Germany.

This castle was owned by a family, the Homans dollars.

So that would mean then that this is the Hohenzollern family coat of arms.

They had kings and princes, and they've been ruling part of Germany for hundreds of years.

But this bow string, I do think that's original.

So I think if we tried Thio put tension on him.

You don't want us to do that right after you guys Percocet.

Go ahead and do whatever you want, but right now, I mean, it would be really fun, but we will.

We will hurt the value of a great poster.

Well, the good thing is, it's a really nice example.

It's got some really nice features to it.

And I think the fact that has the winless this is the really nice thing about it.

Based on how old it is and the condition it's in, I think it's worth $10,000.
