The Last Hunt Before the Crash

[romeo-1]

I actually posted this on the day of the site crash but it must have not have made it back. Found these on the morning of 20 November. I am happy with the padlock. I've found a couple of these escutcheons but didn't realize that they were from this type of lock. I plan to restore it the best I can.
