Looksl ike a non bs 5 lever. No curtain seems to be present so you could get it with the 2 wires and it does look like a union brand rebadged ?

dont know the make but Im sure its the ones SKS sell

5 lever and the lever are very poor easy to pick and sometimes easy to overlift

it is the sks brand lock, often badged up as an ellis, 5 levers 4 spacers and no anti picks, picks open in seconds with either a buttonhook and tension wire to overlift or an over lifter.

this wont challenge you much chuck.

I hope it is a good start, At the very least I will enjoy cutting it apart.

I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

But these locks almost always open right up by taking out 2 screws (you can see then in the picture). You can then lift off the front plate, and then lift out all the pieces of the lock by hand.

It's very useful because you can replace the front plate with a perspex copy, and then see what you are doing with your picking wires, or your 2 in 1 pick, or your overlifter.
