French Farmhouse lock

[Andrew Worthington]

This lock landed on my desk on Friday, source is a French Farm House.



It uses a 'wing' on one side of the key bit instead of a collar to control key insertion.



To make the key I had to start with a blank that had quite a large bit in order to thin it to the desired 'L' shape, remove the stock collar, warding, then add a bit of patina to blend the work in.



I can't see any markings on the lock so if anyone can shed any light on it I would be grateful.
