DENY High Security Padlock

This lock is nice for a number of reasons.

Rare unusual high security padlock lock (DENY)

Old padlock from France with original key.

Lock and key are not marked DENY but this is definitely a DENY lock.

DENY made some utility locks for the French government.

Look at the key, the lock is hard to pick open! Easy to cut the exposed brass shackle though... Another French paradox.

Interesting brass lock, works perfectly, very good condition.

Both lock and key are marked 29.

Lock is 2 3/4" tall x 2 1/2" wide. - eBay (14 April 09)

This padlock sold for $140 (Plus $5 Shipping).
