Old ALA padlock

My grandma gave me this gift. It was used in her old house, many years ago. I picked it with care and put it aside.
It was surprisingly difficult to pick for an old 4 pins lock. Tolerances aren't bad. The key still works smooth. It was made in Italy, on key bow there are the company logo and the text LUCCHETTO SICUREZZA (security padlock). I found their website and found out they still produce this padlock.
I just wanted to share the picture (and joy).

Cheers :)
