I've been on a three days trip and visited a medieval and fortified hamlet close to Biella, in the north of Italy.
You can imagine my surprise when I found a padlock for sale among other old stuff. I got it for 15 euro, a good price for such a nice padlock.
The logo is strange, looks something mystical where the sun symbolize god, and instead of the usual eye in the center there are three padlocks. I guess it's a reference to the trinity. It may be an antique symbol with a meaning or just an inspired designer who invented the logo. Any info about it is more than welcome.

Cheers :)

I don't know anything about the lock, except it is a really neat find. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
