    Default Unusual Chubb ( Is it a Chubb?) safe lock.

    A safe or strongroom (?) lock that has no maker markings but has all the hallmarks of a Chubb lock although both Peter Gunn and Tommy Watson don’t think it’s a Chubb. Its incredibly close gated (fag paper and all that). There are 9 levers to each pack and as can be seen the lower lock acts as an escutcheon lock blocking the top lock although the shutter has been removed for clarity. Both packs have really nice detents. Size is 146mm x 210mm. Weight 5.7kg. I would be happy to take more pics if it’s found to be interesting and the thread gets going.
