    do you have a close up picture of the dial and possibly the wheelpack or lock stripped down?

    Gary,

    That's all I have. I thought it interesting because of the unique front to back travel of the lock bolt. I only know of one other lock that incorperates that function and it's The Marvin Imperial.

    It's a rear drive lock so there is no wheel pack.

    Someone thought it had a bit of a Macneale & urban look about it. but I thought they had lettered dials normally

    When I mentioned wheelpack, I didn't mean a curb and wheelpack like are common for you, even though parts are individual, I still call the wheels a wheelpack

    This shows a good example of the Imperial.
