Thanks!
However, usually, a certain Mr. Han Fey outbids me on these things...
And: It should be called "with Lafette" - "Lafette n" would be the plural, as in "with at least 2 Lafetten"
Cheers,
mh

Yes, I asked the guy about the Mauer but it's just the 11 lever version, not key changeable
mh - thanks for the confirmation on Lafette - I thought I had that wrong.

You're welcome - as there's not much I can contribute anyway, I have to resort to German spelling and grammar

I had a look at the end of the ebay auction for the Kromer BP55K lock. For quite a while the highest bid was at around 100 GB pounds then just before the end someone put in a bid for GBP155, which closed the deal. This looks like a recent Kromer lock, now out of production, so clearly a collector's item.

I do know the seller but in this case he is mistaken, 70079 is a key changeable lock but only Klasse 2.
