good job on the breakdown, but a picture of the keyway would be nice...

Hi net-rom, it's nice to see the scandinavian cylinders you post about
It is probably a TV 5537 (TV 5520 is similar, just with a different 'mount'). The 6-pin version is available for 'home' use, and the 7-pin is used in master-keyed systems, or "systems" as TrioVing calls it.
Here's mine (6-pin), with human pins.
Here is the default pin and the drill-resistant pin for this lock.
And a pic of the keyway.

nice lock ! looks like a model you can pick . . . mine is still a littel to hard (for me) but it will come.

It looks like these security pins are designed to fool the person attempting to pick it by making it appear that you have bypassed the spool pin when all you really did was just push the center bulge past the shear line. I want one!
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

q_werty:
Where r u?
I have never come across a scandinavian type cylinder in 3 years in the field, and i change llllllloooooooooooaaaaaaaddddddddssssssss of locks in a week so i come across bomb shells of euros, ovals, bullet(shop shutter small oval type), mortice locks, screw ins etc. but never scandinavian.
I have yet to come to one in my path. Most probable distinction is that they are attached from the rear (?do they?) while a half oval if bolted from the side.

Only time I've ever seen Trioving (and I haven't been to Scandinavia) is on hotel locks. Vingcard mechanical and magnetic card locks often have a keyed cylinder for emergency access.
