Hey Thump, and Big Mud....check this out!

Thought y'all might be interested in looking at these old locks I have.
Di gave them to me for Christmas a few years ago.
Don't know if they are genuine or not, but they sure do look cool.

Yep, I've seen those for sale at the local gun shows. They're replicas, but sure look cool. I'll see if I can find 'em on the web. I'm sure they're the same.

I've seen them on eBay and they have a bazillion different tags you can order ... like prisons for example. They sure look cool as a display piece though.

Here ya' go ... found this on a quick Google search.

Neat website there Thump.
I am 1000% sure she didn't pay very much for them, and got them for their "neatness" and not as antiques.

Oh yeah, all the ones I've seen were advertised as replicas and there were dozens of different "tags" to choose from. I'd hate to think that some butthead would try to misrepresent them, but there are a lot of buttheads out there. I think Di would have picked up on the obvious clue seeing both of them together as I seriously doubt Colt and Winchester would have used identical locks to secure their factory doors.

I think they're a really neat display/conversation piece though.
