    Default Antique Safe with Ruxtons Invincible Lock

    Hi all,

    Here's a few pics of an old keyed safe I need to open.

    The nameplate that slides over the keyhole says
    "Ruxtons invincible lock" and the circular wording
    says " wrought iron fire resisting safe"

    It's a lever lock with at least 4 levers that I can see
    with a scope.

    Does anyone have any advise on how to open it?
    I don't have any lever picks but I can make up something.
    drill point? which way to turn to open? bolt works pics & measurements?
    The customer doesn't want it drilled.

    some google searching turned up English often with a coat of arms
    above the lock but no useful opening info.

    thanks for any info you can provide.
    Tom
