Hey, Rick it looks so much better in a complete state! Can you tell us what sort of "tuning" that you did, presumably to make the lock work better? Got any pics of the interior mechanism? From the outside it looks like a better fit and finish than on most Balkan and many Otto locks. 'Wondering if it could be a Brescian made-for-export to the region, what Gen. Agostino Gaibi calls a piastra alla morlacca in his monumental book Armi da Fuoco Italiane.
