    We saw quite a few in the early days used on the diplomat dispatch bags but also used by MoD in applications where they'd use Ava 1k42's. Proper general all rounders-we also saw a few rare all brass, used in explosives magazines where the anti-spark was mandatory.

    Thanks, Huw, yes they used the AVA padlocks here in Australia on secure bags.
    Interesting that they had an all brass versions as well, I will have to keep an eye out for it as well it would be a very pretty lock.

    cheers
