Thanks for appreciating them!

Beautiful old lock and that lion face is just awesome looking, wow.
The American looks just like a series 40 but yours is the military version.
Thanks for sharing😀✌️
EDIT* The series 40 is the same width as the 1100 and yours looks like the same size as the 1200

[@dougpickslocks]

Thanks for your knowledge on this. Hard to make the proper match.

[@gkeyman565]

nice locks, what was the model of American lock you picked?
have a great day & have a Merry Christmas too

[@dougpickslocks]

Valid question. I was trying to research that myself and couldn’t find it. Because it’s military it might not be in the common line. It seems like it is an all brass 1100 series. Some comparable locks in brass appear to be the 3600 or 3700 series. But those might be SFIC cores.

[@dougpickslocks]

I may have just found it. American 5340.

[@KeylessEntry]

The non military version is the series 40

[@KeylessEntry]

Oh sorry, correction on my end. The series 40 is the same width as the 1100 and series 5340 is the same width as the 1200.

[@KeylessEntry]

@@dougpickslocks the 5340 doesn’t have a brass body, it’s a steel body with a coating just like the 5200.

Excellent wonderful new additions to your collection, may you run across a good source of stock to get the lion keyed and nice pick. 👍🤘🦾

[@dougpickslocks]

Hoping I can get that key in time. Meantime, the lion lock is the treasure on its own.
