Fake Winchester Padlock

With many of the popular valuable antique locks, one has to be concerned about the fakes that are floating around. This auction does the right think and states that the lock is a copy and not an original. Although he probably should have noting the same in the auction's title:

Vintage WINCHESTER Padlock w/Orig Key - Up for auction is a REPRODUCTION Winchester Six Lever padlock. This lock is in excellent working condition. Lock is with NO rust or corrosion. The shackle has very good spring tension. - eBay (23 Jan 09)

This padlock had an opening bid of $35 (Plus $6.50 Shipping) but failed to attract any bids.
