As a Gorean Gemsmith I create not only jewelry but fine weapons and locks. Pictures do exist for some work butcustom work I do often does not exist in picture form, all crafted pieces are described in words Selling prices for custom work are usually higher than simpler, less expensive pieces that can be produced in quantity. Though I do quantity work, the great majority of patronage is custom work. I do repeat use of a design, especially when a customer requests it. Prices listed here are based on cost of materials.

Crossbow

A standard infantry weapon of Gor. It consists of a heavy, flexible bow of tempered steel, 18" across (when drawn), mounted on a heavy wooden stock about two feet long, with a trigger mechanism built into the shaped handle. It can use several types arrows (quarrels) of spiked, smooth tipped or broad bladed quarrels, striking with enough force to penetrate wooden walls, doors or human bodies with relative ease. It has an effective range of approximately 150 yards. Slow to reload, it is commonly redrawn through use of a "goat's-foot" hook or a cranequin (bow crank). Quarrels, or "bolts," are carried by the user in a belt-case or quiver.
