Old Burg No. 99 Cutaway
I wanted to have a cutaway like this for a long time and now I finally have one! I know a collector who has one of those in a brand new condition and even in the original box. Sadly mine is not in a that good condition and I do not have the box but I still love it
I had a conversation with Solomon saying the old Burg padlocks would have the “real” levers that you can not over lift. Now looking at the cutaway I think that I was wrong… You can probably over lift them. I have no idea what the security wafers are for. Maybe they are just there to make sure the levers will hold in place and not become wedged with each other.
Thanks Solomon for all the info and insights on lever locks. It seems I was able to understand the Kromer Protector but was not able to get in touch with the simpler lever locks. At least not until he helped me out a bit!
A video will follow shortly.
I hope you enjoy
