ABUS No. 41 padlock help

[Squelchtone]

I'm happy to report that while at work today I spyed a dirty lock under a pile of junk, and it happened to be an Abus No.41 45mm! I worked it for about 40 seconds and it opened. I used a regular size Southord tension wrench and the Southord laminated handle small half diamond which has been wet sanded with 400 to make it rounder.

very light tension, it did manage to get stuck 20 degrees into the turn, must be a spool or the mushrooms they claim are in there. Nevertheless, it was open fairly quickly.

I took it home and cleaned it up a bit with some wet 400 paper. Here are some pics of the lock and that paracentric keyway. and yes, it was a pain to get the pick in there, so a hook wouldn't work well unless it was a slimline. The back and fourth raking I did did not require much room in the keyway, and I didn't need no stinkin' slimline

The lock is missing the plastic heel with ABUS logo, I did not remove it.

Hey mods,
Is there a section somewhere where we can put lock pictures in Alphabetical order by manufaturer and model, so people doing research can quickly visualise what lock someone is typing about in a post?

Thanks!

Keyway is yellow, the red is the first pin in the keyway.

Does he know you're picking a lock that is his? Is this a service for him? If it is not your lock, please don't pick locks around your property that belong to the landlord or other tenants or neighbors.

Thanks
