just checked and got that wrong, badged in the USA as a cobra but in Europe as the python, same unit.

when I have worked on pythons in the uk they have been badged as cobras.

Here is the Fichet-Bauché documentation for the Cobra chest. The Pyton has the difference that it is equipped with a key lock Monopole against a NS...

Ok I will. Thanks for your help on this.

You have a Meilink Home safe. As far a retrieving a combo from the serial # is not possible. Your best bet is find a safe tech that can open it and...
