    I know where it is, and can get some more pictures of it, but I only have the camera in my iPhone 5, so I don't know if they'll be any better than the pictures available here, which come from the original ebay listing : restraintsblog.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Cotterill?m=0

    It's possible that I may be able to borrow a high quality camera to photograph it, but given the existence of the photos I linked above, do you think it's worth it? If it is, I'm happy to get it done.

    According to www.antiquesnavigator.com, it fetched a price higher than any padlock sold before or since on ebay! (See www.antiquesnavigator.com/padlocks-price-guide/antique-padlocks-price-guide-1-SoldPriceDesc.html)
