Very interesting lock. Thank you for the pictures!
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

that is very interesting, its kinda got that "laser" cut down the middle
how old is that, it looks pretty advanced for a lock that looks like its a few years old

it seems to be the same as the 'belllock' that was posted up a while ago, except this seems to have warding as well.

Yep, it has the 'sidewinder'/'laser' tumblers of the Bellock, but the opening mechanism is very interesting, too - you have to turn it by 90 degrees, the only you can push the key all the way through.
And when pushing it through, is works like a flat gearwheel - each 'tooth' engages with another 'tooth' of the bolt, which is therefore moved sideways.
I remember some other thread with a description of an ancient lock where these 'teeth' were spaced unevenly and the key would have to have a matching pattern. Can't exactly remember, though.
Cheers,
