LOL!!!
Fernando, you have always amazed me with the esoterica and unusual items you come up with!! and this truly has expanded the dimension of things brought up for discussion in our forum. Who would have imagined a bottle of wine! Nicely done

Now, any chance of finding an actual example of that lock? and learning more on the gunmakers and book you describe.

All the best,
Jim
