well. i have never come across a lock of THAT brand name. HOWEVER: i once had a lock my grandpa gave me. it looked very similar in size and build. it was also an italian made lock. it was a.... poop..... viro. thats right.

it was italian, and it was a jerk of a lock to pick. i think i only got it a few times before i ripped it to pieces and checked it out inside.

i ended up destructively disassembling it. :shame: anyway, what i found was that it had what looked like drill proof cores, which doesnt change picking, but thats all i found, not even a spool. but it was a very sticky lock. it didnt want to turn too easy, and i had to use a screwdriver to turn it once i picked it.

and that was a fairly unused lock too.
