Anyone ever seen one of these? (Umeika Lock)

[Marduk28]

Hey guys,

I recently received this lock as a gift from one of my friends here in Taiwan. It looks like a pin tumbler/ dimple lock hybrid with a cruciform style keyway.

Have any of you ever seen/picked one of these? If I count correctly, there should be 18 pins in that thing! ( 5 on the top, 5 on the bottom, 4 on the left, 4 on the right)

I have been trying to pick it for a couple of hours now with no luck.

Any tips?

Reminds me of a key for a Citroen. Except for the square center part.

Nice find!

Maybe your getting trouble because of security pin.. The top one looks to be serrated. Not sure though!
