This bow and arrow should be hanging against the wall, it is a letter scale. Above all it is a good looking design. During efforts to use it, the poor qualities of this design quickly emerge. the scale easily falls apart into parts, the string shoots from the leaf spring, the leaf spring shifts from the only proper central position, and so forth. The letter scale was produced in different color combinations. The capacity is 100 grams, The chart is kept simple, markings are given at 0, 20, 50 and 100 grams. the name Erfis Design is molded at the back, also: made in Switzerland and Mod. Dep. Int. I have not found any evidence of this International Design Registration. Below some more pictures of this Wilhelm Tell letter scale.
