Hey, Ed

Reading your original post again, I noticed that you provided a pic of a Schnapplunte mechanism with button trigger. Do you have this, or are trying to acquire it for your project? Your endeavor sounds quite intriguing, please post images when the project is finished!

If I have misread your post, and you are still searching for a suitable lock, perhaps fellow forumite rickystl might able to locate a source for a correctly styled replica. I will send him an email. If you rather wait for an original, there are two big auctions in Europe, one in Munich and the other in Sarzana (Italy) which regularly feature interesting and hard-to-find locks. It might take awhile but I trust that you aren't in a burning hurry on this. Good luck!
