    Default Screws

    Hi Darryl

    You raised a question about the screw threads.

    In the early days, many screws/bolts will have been made by hand before the Whitworth thread became the norm. Have you checked to see if they are Whitworths?

    Good to catch up again.

    It has very distinctive lines scribed round the edges. I have the spring that pushes the lever back and the original screws to attach it to the front of the safe.

    Does any one know what it would of looked like and how the mechanism works? My knowledge is quite poor around escutcheons.
