Auction locks

[fusion]

I've been looking for some locks on auction sites and a few things caught my eye.




The seller say that this is 13th century, no key, but can be opened by pressing something on the back.
Price is low, but 14 days to go.



Here I dont understand why the price is 100€ (200USD). This isn't very rare in central Europe.



These I'm buying for sure. 3 padlocks, 3 keys each, 3€



3M made locks? 2€, brand new

WHat do you guys think? Any of these really worth it?

the top one is a fake... induced rust too even , no pitina, lacks wear marks... fake as fake can be

*could* be legit, as we dont' know it's storage conditions, however the seemingly good condition of the spring on the back raises alarms all over.

if it's cheap it might be an interesting piece, but i'd want a LOT more info if they're claimign 13c.

i.e. location acquired, location found, known use. those should all be available for real antique/relics, otherwise they'll be listed a little more nebulously if from a legit seller.

10yrs expierence with appraising anitques bets my left nut that it is not a 13c lock

No years of experience appraising antiques bets my lefthand-threaded bench grinder nut that it's a "replica" (to be charitable)...because it's on ebay. :P
