This one is new, but on sale. With an adapter, a KIK core can be used. I've bought a number of these from Brockhage.

Edit: If you're looking for one that takes SFIC cores, this is the wrong item.
Second edit: Ahh, I see it comes with a high security core - I should have looked first. That one new is very expensive, so I am not adding it to my collection any time soon.

They make an 83/80 that takes an SFIC? Thought the only other model only took Scandinavian Ovals.

I believe you are correct, I did some research and my assumption was wrong. I think now that the ic designation means interchangeable core
83CS-IC/55 for example, does take IC cores.

I've been known to make an error from time to time. In fact, think it is less common for me to get something correct. :D I just wanted to know if there was another model on the market, so I asked for clarification. ;)

Maybe I was really hoping that this existed. I didn't know that it was available in a model that took Euro cylinders. The new ones of the Euro cylinder 83/80 I've found online seem rather ... expensive. Now I know that they're available though, thanks to you :)

the CS model is a concealed shackle... they are really only in europe in the 80 size and shrouded and only take a half oval (that ive seen). the S2 core is the same as the regular 83/45 model cores. :( id like a 80mm shrouded one in the S2 but doesnt seem like they make that
