Hi Corrado.
That is a VERY nice Algerian lock. Very artistic and well executed. Notice the decorative file and chisel work on the mainspring. Not usually seen on these locks. Very neat. I've noticed that all these locks are built almost identical. The only differences in the amount of decoration. Thanks for posting.

I've looked at three other Algerian locks in my collection. All have a mark. But all different. I'll take photos and Post here.
Rick.
