this lock was destined for brass recyclyng,as it was deemed "unpickable",and not even worth trying to open due to the fact the retaining bolt is actually a rivet.
picked open, drilled retaining bolt,replaced it,punched a key,
and lubed + a lil' elbow grease,and here are the results.
(IMHO a great little lock,and a KILLER to pick!)
EDIT:
pics are WAYY outta order.
thr effects of oxycontin and alcohol ....=/

I really like this lock. I've always been into the wear and tear look and being redone by awol means it works like the day it was bought I'm guessing.

A nice addition to yer collection, man, excellent work as always!
