French Safe - Marseille - Magaud Charf
I have recently recovered this safe. Its origins are related with the regional administration of a province in Spain. We would like to restore it and exhibe it in our Museum. The first problem is that the original keys are lost. On the door is placed the inscription BREVETE - L SAUVE PERREYMOND - ET MAGAUD CHARF - MARSEILLE.
But I have two questions to solve:
1- Is it possible to date the safe? I suppose is about ca. 1800 but I don't really don't know nothing about the world of safes.
2- Is it possible to get a picture of the three keys? The originals are lost and we would like to have a reference of "similar" ones, of a similar model, to start the patient labour of opening the safe.
