Pellet Crossbow
The Pellet Crossbow by Franz Schmidl features a brown wooden stock with an inlaid design, adorned with gold accents and leaf patterns. A metal trigger mechanism is visible on the stock. The curved upper section is made of wood with gold inlays and a leaf pattern, bearing a black rubber or leather piece near the front. Three metal rods are attached at the top, including one horizontal rod with a twisted black and gold piece at its center. A thin orange string is stretched between the ends of the two outer rods. The background transitions from black at the corners to a central white spot.
