Trench Cross bow

I have just obtained a large archive of the "Warnick" family part of which is a nice picture (first I have seen) of a trench cross bow...has anyone seen a real one?

i wonder if that was someone's original medieval crossbow that was dusted off, made once again battle ready, and put to use?very interesting!
