They sell those locks here in Kuwait. I've seen that style on both the DOM and EWA. I bought one that I'm sure no one would guess using magnets AND dimples. Expensive little units.

This is not a lock sold in the US, as far as I know, so it's not exactly a matter of experienced vs. non-experienced getting it. Unless you've worked more than one continent it's not a fair comparison. I'm sure several of the chinese locks I work with nobody in the UK or US has ever seen.

SPOILER...
It's a DOM - D. Based on DOM iX design but with a two-bladed key.
Anyone figured my last guess-the-lock yet?

OK, no takers? The last lock I posted was a Helason 4 x 4 pin from a dead latch mechanism. Helason is an Austrian company. They key is hollow with 4 cuts per side (on 4 sides).

I think I recognise the keyway. It's definetly a pump lock-- probably a Muel with 8 levers?

I'm not sure what that is...
but it looks a lot like a TOC cylinder?

What's a TOC cylinder?
I believe this version of the cylinder is just used for custom applications, such as steering wheel locks.
But what can you guess about the lock mechanism, etc.?
