I think its a crazy lock i would love to try and get my hands on if anybody has one to trade would be great.

No offence MrBinky but I think we all want one
You found yourself the holy grail of locks. As I heard they go for around 500€...
If you get one please be sure to post immense amounts of photos of it

Even the older style with the 'H' shaped keyway can be ridiculously expensive. Tried looking on France's eBay, but could not find a F3D.

sorry if this goes up twice i just wrote something about this.. i didnt know they where so pricey or rare. . i found the key on the cool keys area and fell in love. thanks for the info guys. i will be putting photos up, if and when i get my hands on one.

the H shaped is called 480-484 I think. But if you are only after the H shape you could have a look At DOM diamant. That's a nice lock BTW mr binky, maybe you find it interesting too.
Not an F3D, but still nice.
Oh and never write that price doesn't matter. You open yourself to vultures. They will know they can sell it ridiculously overpriced.
I had to learn the bad way that the Nr.1 rule of trade is research what you give and research what you want. Even more important when money is included.
Somehow money brings out the worst of many people. That's one of the reasons why I don't really buy lock any longer. Only trade.

thanks for the kind works m8, i never really cared much about money and it has gotin me into trouble. so i should learn to watch what i say. ill take a look at the dom your talking about. I found a FICHET with a key that looks like and H on the French ebay.. 400 euros.. i dont know what that is in american but im sure its alot. thanks again man, i just have a crazy want to learn about locks and the crazyer they look the more i want one and learn about it.

Ok, but be careful and I would strongly suggest to edit out all the references exclaiming that you are willing to spend unlimited amount of money on locks. I can already hear the vultures comeing.
Even if you have money to burn that's no reason to let yourself be cheated out of it and be taken advantage of.

I am not sure but I think my locksmith might be able to order them. But since Fichet is not common here they are probably gone be expensive... but not 500€
Maybe people have paid that much because they could not get them though.....

[mrbinky]

i took out my words in one of my posts thanks for the heads up man. i guess i wasn't thinking.

Dicey for example is good trader. I can recommend him Mrbinky:)

They are usually about 300 Euros when I find them on ebay for the F3Ds. The H keyway 484? is quite a bit cheaper.
